Halloween 2016

A little late, but Happy Halloween from our fox and turtle!




The kids had a great time trick-or-treating this year.  Evie wanted to be a sneaky fox.  I’m not very crafty, but she seems to like what we came up with for her costume, and I thought she looked great.  Mitch was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and he looked adorable!  We went to the annual neighborhood hot dog cookout and then walked around with some of the other neighborhood kids which was a lot of fun.  




 This was the first year that Evie seemed to really care about trick-or-treating.  In years past, we went to a few houses and then she wanted to go home and give our candy.  This year she lasted over an hour and her bucket was over-flowing.  Mitch really surprised me.  He was bound and determined to keep up with Evie and he lasted almost an hour.  He was little shy, but he told everyone thank you.  After we got the kids in bed, Pat declared to was time to ‘inspect’ the candy and taste test some of our favorite kinds.  Parental prerogative!  Evie made out like a bandit.  People were seriously generous with the candy!  And Mitch got a ton of good stuff too.  Pat also found a leaf and a rock in his bucket.  Lol.  Guess he was channeling his inner Charlie Brown!  The kids have been a sugar high since that day so the buckets have been put on a high shelf so that we can monitor their candy intake. Ha!  All in all, it was a great Halloween.  Perfect weather and lots of fun!
