Halloween

October is an awesome month, with its fabulous weather, costume fun, pumpkin activities and ending it all with too much candy.  This year Halloween fell on a Wednesday which is our Austin Library's story time.  We met Lucy, Sophia, Jackson and other friends (like the random kid in the picture) there.

There was a special guest-the Picky Little Witch or at least the illustrator of that book dressed up like her to read the story.  Gloria wore three costumes throughout the day-fairy to story time, Aurora to pick Lydia up from school and super hero in the evening, I just wore my Happy Halloween T-shirt all day.  

Lydia had a fun day at school, another girl wore the same shirt and she got black teeth.

Nana came and brought fried chicken and helped hand out candy!

We joined in with Summer and family (including her scary daddy who enjoyed standing still and scaring kids on our trick-or-treating trip.  As always we walked down to Heather's and back.  There seemed to be more people than other week days.  But lots of houses had their lights turned off-but we still got more candy that we could eat.

Both girls ate as they walked and Gloria would take one bite and then hand the rest to me!  Here we are sorting the loot (and I discovered I have gray hair!).  They got to take 3 pieces in their lunch the next day.  Even today 11-11 we still have some and they get a piece every now and then.
