Halloween Part Four: The Real Deal

We all had a marvelous time this year Trick-or-Treating.  The weather was perfect; clear skies and just cold enough to remind you that it is October.  The trees were still covered in beautiful leaves.  The neighborhood was swarming with goblins and fairies and Grim Reapers and Harry Potters.  Sometimes I still can't get over how picturesque it is here. 

Pictures don't capture the quaintness of the neighborhood.








Check out the huge piles of leaves on the side of the road, waiting for the "leaf-vacuuming-truck" to come suck them up.  The kids love watching it.
  The first 45 minutes the kids ran from door to door.  After that, they got weighed down a little, and the last 45 minutes, they walked, Nathan dragging his candy bag until Dad poured the contents into the bottom of the stroller so he could keep going.

CANDY!!!!

We weighed in when we got home.  Here are the results, in real time photos:








Avery immediately noticed the injustice of it all.  She insisted we weigh, and weigh again.  She finally came to the conclusion that the boys just must have been greedy, and she was the only polite one.  That is quite possibly the truth.
