Trick or Treat!

Just a couple of quick Halloween photos, with hopes to post more October photos and updates soon....  The weather has been wet and windy lately, and Halloween day was no exception.  Though the ground was wet, there wasn't too much rain falling during the actual trick-or-treat adventure, and the temperatures were in the 50's.  Jadyn wanted to be a princess this year, and Joseph was content in a Mommy-chosen dragon costume that kept him warm.  We went around the neighborhood with our neighbors, and Cleo was a vampire!  Even Mommy and Daddy got into the fun and wore some wigs and other accessories.

 

Joseph seemed to enjoy the walk in the dark, and people in costumes didn't really faze him at all; he just goes with the flow.  Jadyn raced from house to house with Cleo and some other kids we acquired along the way, keeping up with older, bigger kids on dark sidewalks and wet porch and steps just fine.  But she is still a little shy at the doors of strangers: "trick or treat" is sometimes very quiet or not even muttered, yet she'll stand there and hold her bag open like the others, in hopes of a treat.  ;-)  After we came in from the trek, she learned about the Halloween ritual of organizing and trading candy from her older friends.  She very reluctantly went to bed late, late, late, tonight, lobbying repeatedly for more candy all evening long.

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween as well!
