It was a lovely day

November 1, 2007

Dscn0006_2

We had the best fall weather for Halloween this year – warm enough to go trick-or-treating without a coat over your costume, but still fall-like.  We went to a little Halloween party at Tot Time at the Recreation Center in the morning and then off to the neighborhood block party and parade in the afternoon.  My little cow and bumble bee were seriously adorable.  I would have posted a picture of Roxanne with her larva necklace, but at the last minute she refused to wear it.  Three-year-olds – they’re a mysterious bunch.  Poor thing, too, she is fighting a cold and her lips were severely chapped and started bleeding during the party. 

Because my babes go to bed at 6:15 pm we were the earliest of the trick-or-treaters, but that was fine with us.  And today it seems that the Halloween candy has been forgotten!  Wow.  I think this is most likely the last year that they’ll forget and not ask for more candy the next day.

    Poor Roxanne, I hope she’s feeling better soon! We had lovely weather for trick-or-treating too, but we started late so I don’t have any pictures. About the candy–you never know. Max has pretty much forgotten about the candy, even though it’s hanging in his trick-or-treat bag right by the front door. Yay!
