Treat!

Halloween was a week ago, and even though we still have plenty of candy left, I think it's beyond time to finish writing about the occasion. So without further ado, here they are the skeleton and the Halloween princess:
These kids have joined the ranks of the sophisticated trick-or-treaters. No walking door-to-door for these two. We traveled in style, riding with friends Ethan and Carver and Avery and Reese on a trailer towed by a 4-wheeler.

Sydney quickly grew tired of it all. Trying to keep up with the rest of the kids as they ran up to each door and then returned to the trailer was simply too much for her. She gave it her best shot, but by about the fourth house she was happy to just snuggle with me on the trailer.

One of the joys of living in a small town, we got to visit the houses of Carver's kindergarten teacher, the paraprofessional who helps in AJ's class, and the principal. All in a couple blocks. Here's a look at the crew after we returned to our house.
The big trick-or-treaters (i.e. parents) were pretty proud of our efforts this year and are already making plans to top it next Halloween. Some of the ideas tossed around included a generator with heaters to keep the kids (and adults) warm. Another idea is to string Halloween lights along the side railings. Trick or treat!
