hallow complete

Halloween day went off without a hitch (minus no school since it was still without power). We went to two library story times, one was meant for KC and one for Aiden, but they love to be tagalongs at each other's programs. The first included a costume parade around the library and several rounds of If You're a Monster and You Know It! The second included ghost puppets that learned to listen to their mom before eating anything. The skeleton brothers hung around the neighborhood most of the afternoon enjoying being outside again and trying not to slip on all the wet leaves. We went to a get together with all of Aiden's rowdy school friends in our neighborhood. The kids ate up a fruit monster and made mummy bagel pizzas. Then we hit the streets with perfect crisp 55 degree weather. This band of troublemakers collected lotsa candy and even tried trick or treating at their teachers' house (although she was at a church meeting -bummer). We made it home with 136 pieces of candy and KC's new favorite phrase, Tak A Tree Can-da puh ease.
