Halloween Night

Here they are... the only picture that they allowed. To clarify-
Drew - vampire
Ellen - Anikin Skywalker
Megan - Hello Kitty
Tim - Mickey Mouse

It was close this year. As of 9AM Halloween morning, neither boy had a costume. Drew has outgrown the costume aspect but is not ready to forfeit the loot. The girls were ready because they had their classroom parties last Friday. No, I don't know why not Halloween. And actually, Ellen's party was a no-costume event.

What a great night for trick-or-treating. It was about 60 with clear skies and no wind. Timothy was awed by the night sky. He really doesn't go out after dark. He said, "It's beautiful. I just want to look at the sky." Fear not, no sky would distract him from the true spirit of the day - CANDY. He made it to about 25 houses before heading home amidst protests. He introduced himself to almost everyone he encountered, "I'm Tim!" He shied away from one ghost. He wasn't sure he wanted to get dressed up but it all clicked once he started collecting the goods. For the record, he likes Milky Way. He must have a bigger connection with the sky than I thought!

The other kids had fun, but this was really all about Tim. It was the first year he got it. And, my only child to pose - pre-candy, of course.

I went along, too, for the first time in about 7 years. I was always in charge of manning the door. But this was more fun.
