Halloween


Kate's first Halloween (that we're aware of). We had a Princess, a Psycho (Alex' friend, Nolan) and a Cereal Killer. Alex, Nolan and another friend, Jesse (Santa with a Scream mask), took off and did their own thing, while Kate and I visited some families on our street and just tried to take in all the sights. She definitely had the whole trick or treat thing down, and was thrilled to see the candy filling up her pumpkin!

Unlike last year where we were wearing shorts and tshirts, last night felt like a fall holiday. Cool and crisp. So it didn't take too long before our Cinderella was feeling cold and was ready for some hot chocolate and Disney channel. Alex returned home about an hour later with more candy than we'll ever know what to do with (especially since he still has candy left over from last year).

Great story, guys. We were wondering how Kate would respond to Halloween. Sounds like she's readily embracing our Western traditions.

Surprisingly warm here in Chicago--reached 69 degrees during the day and your mother and I sat out on the steps to greet the various ghosts and goblins who came by.

Tell that Cereal Killer that we loved his costume. Very clever. By the way, did you have a "Joe the Plumber" come by your house? We did!
