trick-or-treat

it was in the 70s today - and sunny! nothing like any other halloween we have spent in ohio. our neighborhood chose to trick-or-treat at night instead of during the day with the rest of the city. we had a potluck dinner at the clubhouse first and then went home to get ready to go out. we have such a great neighborhood. the turn out was awesome, the food delicious and the company so good we almost didn't have enough time to get home and into costumes! 

madelyn was a hula dancer, mason was a golden ninja from ninjago, maddux was a pirate and manning was jake. they were all super excited!


matt takes the kids out and i stay home to hand out candy. he said that manning was thrilled to be trick-or-treating. so thrilled that he walked the whole time and refused to wear a jacket (even though the temperatures were dropping quickly!). there were quite a few pairs of icy hands when i was handing out the candy.

i think that this might have been the first halloween where none of the kids cried! they were in great spirits, it was almost a shame to put them to bed. happy halloween! love.

Your neighborhood does sound great. Awesome idea to have a potluck. Still think it's weird that you ToT well before Halloween on a set day.
