Happy Halloween!

Well, Halloween was a smashing success. I was able to vote early--waiting the hour in line to do so was the biggest nightmare of the day! The temps were warm, the sky slightly overcast. It was ideal weather for trick-or-treating. Neither kid had to wear a snow suit or even a coat, so that was already a good thing!

Jack remembered trick-or-treating from last year and was very excited to go. He was even willing to leave our friends, Corey and Jenni, to embark on candy-gathering. Sheridan quickly figured out that people were handing out CANDY at their doors! If she saw the candy before saying "Trick or Treat" all she said was "CANDY! CANDY!"

In fact, that's pretty much all she's been saying since. We did have the candy on top of the fridge (in a rather large, slightly translucent bowl), and this morning she was determined to get it. She got her stool out of the bathroom and put it by the fridge, then stretched and stretched to get the bowl of loot. Great idea, but too small a stool (or too small a reach). We are going to have to watch this girl closely!

A final view of our pumpkins at night. The kids loved them with candles in!
