Happy Halloween!

Trick or treat!

Our weather held up nicely (brisk, but not freezing) so the kids headed out this afternoon for some marathon trick or treating. At least that's what it feels like when you've been out for over an hour and only made it around the block.

Raggedy Ann made her second debut today. Anna's preschool program last week included a costume parade and several cute songs. Ask her to sing them for you. She's super proud of herself.



Abe transformed into a mailman. We've been talking about this for so long that I think he would have exploded if he had had to wait any longer. Mike and I promised that he could ride in his own mail truck. And, well, he's been asking about it every single day.



Special delivery!!




Anna and Abe had a blast, running up to each door and then standing there like statutes. It seems like we had to remind them to ring the doorbell at nearly every home. Stage fright, I guess.







We called it quits when Anna started complaining about her bucket being too heavy and Abe got a glazed over look in her eyes.





Now Mike and I will have to roll up our sleeves and dig into that project we call "eat all the candy before the kids wake up."


Parenthood is so difficult.

fan-freakin'-tastic!
excellent costumes.
supremely prompt blogging.
high marks all around, my friend.

and I think your kids are ready for the big leagues of trick or treating: a return trip to LS.
Bonus: it's so crowded, no doorbell ringing is required!

Absolutely adorable (even though I'm bias b/c they're my niece and nephew). Glad everyone had fun and make sure they get to eat a few pieces of candy. Also thanks for the B-day phone call. It's always wonderful to hear the little munchkins. See ya in a couple of weeks!!!
