Bugs, bonfires and things that go "boo"



Sometimes, I really love our neighborhood. Halloween definitely is one of those times. They close down the streets in part of the neighborhood and everyone really gets their Halloween on. Kids and adults in costumes, over-the-top house decorations, people everywhere...such fun!

Owen dressed as Spiderman for the second year in a row and Nora tolerated her huge ladybug head just fine, and was pretty entranced by all the crazy trick-or-treating activity. Oh, and she had her first taste of chocolate. The verdict? Thumbs up (well, actually it got a frantic hand-sign of "more, more" but I think that's pretty clearly the thumbs up of an 18-month-old). Owen liked his "little super ropes" i.e. Twizzlers.

It all goes so fast. A couple hours of trick-or-treating and it's done. At breakfast this morning, Owen even denied that today is Halloween. According to his calendar, Halloween was last week and now it's winter. Silly mommy and daddy!




This last photo is of the undergarb of Nora's ladybug costume. I thought she looked like a little beatnik.
