Happy Halloween!

We had a "pizza picnic" on the floor and then got dressed up and went trick or treating while it was still light out (before it gets scary). The girls did really well this year: both of them said "Trick or Treat" at almost every house (with some prompting) and were very good with their thank-yous. Gracie kept asking "Can we do that house?" so I think she was understanding a little more of what was going on this year. I wore a Spiderman shirt because Gracie wanted me to, and Nanny even dressed up. Gracie decided long ago that she was going to be "Spider-Girl, to the rescue, save the princess" for Halloween and Nanny was the princess. Gracie's friend Ellianna joined us, wearing a fall fairy costume.

Our neighbourhood got mobbed again this year but there were more little kids and less teenagers, which was nice. Lindsay and Katie made 140 treat bags (which made us "the best house ever" in the words of one little boy) and we could have used probably a hundred more. We had a good time although it was pretty warm and muggy (high of 85 yesterday and pushing 100% humidity).

The wagon was a big hit. All the girls took turns riding and pulling.


Here's Nanny "Save the Princess"! What a good sport!


Gracie wasn't the only Spider-girl around


The girls loved handing out treat bags!
