Halloween

Well, we had a good Halloween. Nora got so much candy that she didn't even notice when I took about a third of it out for Kris & I (the good stuff, of course). Here's the loot:


Nora was the Corpse Bride (corpsebridemovie.warnerbros.com/) and Charlotte was a bat (I tried to think of something that would coordinate with Nora's costume, and something I could get cheap!) Nora's costume was improvised, of course. That's half the fun. Hopefully I'll get better at improvising before Nora starts to care what her costumes look like!



We went to the high school where they had booths set up. After we made the rounds there (where the teenagers gave hand-fulls of candy), we went to a church near our house where they had "Trunk or treat." The congregants decorate their cars and park them in a big circle, then you go around to each one to trick-or-treat. You can vote for the best one when you get to the end, where they're serving hot cocoa. Again, lots of candy. Then we went to Kris's parents for a little while. A parent could get used to this-- I wonder if Nora will ever ask to go to a neighborhood to go trick-or-treating. She did ask on our way home, when we were going to go to some houses. But seemed ok when we told her it was too cold.
