We enjoyed trick-or-treating on Saturday night. Our costumes did not go off as planned (story of our lives these days) but the boys had a lot of fun. David ran around the house with his pumpkin bucket chanting “trick-or-treat…candy!”

Here we are before heading out. David is dressed as “Super David” and Matthew is a pirate.

They were pretty excited and getting a family shot was nearly impossible.

At our first house, David tried to take the candy and eat it right then and there. He was Very Mad when I insisted he put it in his bucket. I finally opened a packet of M&Ms and gave him one at a time.

We trick-or-treated until it started to rain in earnest, then headed home. The boys watched a Halloween movie with Nana and Grandpa while Steven and I enjoyed a drink with our neighbors at the annual Halloween-night-social-on-the-pipe-stem.

Now I have a big basket of candy on top of the washer. Sadly, the boys only got one mini Baby Ruth bar, and no Butterfingers. What is wrong with people? Those are clearly some of the best candy bars around. I count on Halloween to get my fix. I guess I’ll have to make do with Milky Way bars this year.
