Happy Halloween 2010

Our Little Trick or Treaters: Megan, Jack (as Indiana Jones), and Surrey

Surrey and I stayed home, as Darrin took the children trick or treating with several children (and their parents) from the neighborhood. Surrey had been sick all week, and was still congested and coughing, and so used her help in passing out candy. She wanted to be a part of the "big group," as Surrey thinks she is bigger than she is...but it seemed to work out best with her at home. We enjoyed seeing the various children from the neighborhood, wearing their costumes. It was fun, as I think there were more parents and grandparents than actual children trick or treating.

As usual, Jack and Megan brought home plenty of candy. Jack's new favorite are Kit Kats and he managed to wrangle in more than 20! Megan seems to like anything that doesn't have nuts in it, especially peanuts. But as long as it's sugarcoated, she's thrilled! We had several neighbors pass out full size candy bars...hhhmmm, Darrin do you remember which house those came from? Last year, we had a neighbor in Utah that passed out JW Religious pamphlets. Needless to say, they were blacklisted by the various children this year, as I was told. Halloween is about the candy and tooth decay, not religious literature! Someone apparently didn't get the HOA newsletter memo that year. ;)
