happy halloween


Yes, it was. Raine got to wear her bionicle costume. It wasn't as cold as it had been for a good part of the week, but once the sun went down, it probably felt pretty good. We visited a Halloween "party" sponsored by some local radio stations, and Raine and Ezekiel got to show off their bionicle costumes, and score a little candy. Later, Ezekiel came by our house (with his folks) and they joined Ron and Raine on a trip around the neighborhood. Raine really enjoyed handing out candy at our house, as well.

I really enjoy Halloween in our neighborhood. There are quite a few young kids, and they are really cute when they come trick or treating. Not every house gives out candy, but quite a few do. Enough to give the kids plenty of candy. Thats for sure. Most of the kids we saw were elementary aged, and we gave out almost all the candy we bought. With the young crowd like that, the trick or treating is pretty much done by 8, and that's pretty much to my liking as well.

Oh, yeah, and don't forget to set your clocks back if you are in an area that changes to and from Daylight Savings Time.

Our porch light didn't work for a while so we didn't get many kids. Okay, we got two.

And that's fine.

Raine and Ezekial look absolutely fab, though! I bet they got tons of compliments on those costumes, especially Raine!
