Halloween!

Well, I'm only 5 days late for posting about  Halloween...not bad, right?  We had such a great time!  Erin got to wear her (actually, Logan's) Nemo costume to school for "Dress as a Book Character Day" since Halloween is evil and public schools cannot celebrate any holidays any more.  Anna was homemade Dory, thanks to Grandma A.!  We chilled out after school and then got ready for fun.  The girls got their costumes on and we took salad and drinks over to our neighbor friends Nina and Lily's house and had pizza with them.  They inhaled their dinner and then hit the street.  We also had Nick and Laney with us because their parents were stranded in England due to Hurricane Sandy.  Drew and Ella met up with us too, so we had a nice group of friends together!  The kids probably went to about 8 houses and they all did so well.  Nobody was scared and everybody stayed together.  Erin was leading the pack, and she even ate a sucker for the first time ever!  Their most favorite treat was glow bracelets from one house...until they woke up the next morning to no more glowing, which made them very angry.  After trick-or-treating, we went back to Nina and Lily's driveway and the kids sat around the fire pit eating candy, drinking juice boxes, toasting marshmallows, and watching all the other kids come to the house.  It was such a fun time, and the kids had a ball.  I loved it because this was the first year we really got to enjoy it, since it rained last year and every other year we had a baby who didn't like it.  Anyway, that was our fun night, and Anna has already proclaimed that next year, she will be Belle and Erin will be the beast.  We'll see what Erin has to say about that!
