Boo!

Well, it's a little late, but I figure if the candy hasn't disappeared, I can still write about Halloween.

We carved our pumpkins a few days before Halloween.  Marlo, not to be trusted with a knife or pen, got glue, stickers, and googly eyes.  She'll play with glue for hours, so she was thrilled.   Equally awesome was scooping out the pumpkin guts.  Hayden did some scooping under duress, but I ended up finishing.



On Halloween night, we had a Luke Skywalker and a cowgirl.  The weather cooperated by staying above freezing.

Marlo couldn't believe her luck.  Not only could she run around IN THE DARK and ring doorbells, but the people inside the houses would give her candy.

Interestingly, at 2, Hayden did not know that the colorfully wrapped items handed out at Halloween were edible.  He enjoyed sorting them and looking at them...it never occurred to him to eat them.  Marlo, under the tutelage of Hayden, has long ago discovered candy.
