We had a nice wholesome Halloween. We visited neighbors who look forward to the kids coming to trick-or-treat. We visited the neighbors who are pregnant and the kids remind them of what they’re in for. We went across the street to Mrs. Doyle’s house which was decorated with all manner of tacky halloween lights and ghouls and goblins.

“You have the spookiest house on the block!” I said. “Are you going to decorate for halloween?”

The kids were universally a big hit, especially with the older neighbors. We went farther than normal and Grace had no trouble keeping up or going the distance. Oddly after about 10 houses Gabriel threw in the towel. He doesn’t like chocolate so Halloween isn’t quite as exciting for him as it is for the others.

Grace, though, has GOT the whole Halloween idea! She loves trick-or-treating! Ben did a good job of being the big brother and Chloe had a good time too.

The weather was perfect and we had a fine time!
