This was our Second Annual Spaghetti and Trick or Treat Get Together. Whitaker was a peacock and Brinley was a bumble bee. Sophie was a jeanie (sp?) and James was Batman. This was Whitaker's first Halloween and he got it immediately that you go to a door, knock, say trick or treat and then walk away with candy. At some homes he would then stand there put down his candy bag and use his sign language and his words and say "more, more?". Pretty fun!!! Brinley of course made it till about 7:30 and then thought this was boring so Matt took her back home. Very nice of him! An way it was fun and Sophie and Whitaker had a blast. Thank you KK for the wonderful salad and Grandmother for the cleanup. What a life saver!! That made walking back into the house such a happy occasion.
Sidenote - what is it with people putting out candy in a bowl on the front porch. You know they are home but they don't want to be social, just social enough to put the candy out but not enough for them to have interaction with another human. I find this so weird. Why don't people enjoy seeing the little people enjoy parts of their life that they have already experienced. Where are the smiles that say "oh I remember that" or " oh how cute, when my little boy was that age," or "Yeah, I never got to do that" but with a look that says they wish they could have! Hum...i found this extremely odd and sad.

Hey, girly!
Glad to have found you! These pics are so cute. I was so close to buying that peacock outfit for Savannah, but I kept thinking, she's not going to have a clue what she is, so I opted for what I thought she'd like to be rather than what I wanted her to be. I thought it was a good mommy moment.
I totally agree that the antisocial put the bowl out thing is WAY SAD!
Very cute! We didn't go trick or treating this year--block party instead.
