Happy Halloween

We had a beautiful Halloween. It was probably seventy degrees and sunny. I can never remember having to worry about being too hot in a costume except when we lived in Arizona. Last year, we drove the kids around in the car and popped out at each house. This time we put the Mia, our little ladybug, in the wagon and Barney rode his bike part of the way and RAN the rest of the way. The houses in our neighborhood are on large lots set back from the road and they also seem to have hidden highly placed doorbells for whatever reason but Tyler insisted that he wanted to go to the door by himself and say trick or treat. Mia probably went up to three houses but mostly figured that she had her bottle, a chocolate bar and a free ride so why go to all that work. She is also scared of many Halloween decorations. She will not go near a door with a scary witch or mask. We let the kids eat as much candy as they wanted and between all the sugar, running and dressing up. They were exhausted by 7:00. Then we realized that Barney had lost his face somewhere during the night so Tyler and Mike has to jump in the car and retrace our route. Thankful we found it.
