Halloween

If you have been following us at all, you know that Halloween is a major event in our household.  We typically spare no expense, and we typically have some kind of animal theme.  This year we went cheap and insects.  However, the end product, we think you will agree, was nothing short of adorable.

And this year our classic tree picture was even more fitting than usual.  The weather was great and the butterflies were ready to flit from house to house.  Unfortunately, Halloween was on a Monday and John taught a night class on Mondays, so this year was the first time that trick or treating took place without him.  Fortunately, the girls agreed that he could still have some of their candy.

As usual, the girls ended up receiving a great deal of candy in a relatively short period of time.  In fact, they filled their pumpkins so quickly that we headed home well before the two-hour window for trick or treating was up. This was nice in the long run, especially because it was a school night.  Next year we will either have to focus on walking a bit slower or simply getting bigger pumpkins.
