We had a great one!!! It was literally picture perfect. The week started with our friends, Sara, Asher, and Brody. It was amazing weather everyday and we did lots of fun stuff out in it, went to Wonderscope (the children's museum), the farm, and Legends to see T-Rex cafe. They flew back home Halloween morning...
We have been pumping P&P up for Halloween...trying on their costumes, telling them what to say at the door, etc. So, they were super excited. Piper, being her shy self, had us worried even though she acted excited around us...strangers frighten her greatly! Last year as soon as they opened the door, she screamed and threw her bucket down. Anyway, we got all ready and headed out...right before it was too dark, very chilly outside...a perfect Fall night on Halloween like we've never experienced in the 31 Halloweens we've celebrated before. Our street is supposedly a popular one and now we know why. Almost everyone is on their porch, passing our huge candy bars, playdough, bags of chips and crackers...making smoke with dry ice, and playing fun music. It was so wonderful. We wheeled the kids around in the wagon and they got out and walked to the doors of several houses on our street. Porter said his version of "Trick or Treat" and "thank you", but Piper stood frozen with her bucket in hand. She would take candy, but did not speak or make eye contact. At least we've got some improvement this year! Their favorite part, however, was back at home, sitting on our porch passing out candy to all the costumed kids. They LOVED it!!! After lots of fun and sugar, they passed out in their beds and slept an hour later than usual this morning! Nice!!!!
