It was a cold, dark and rainy night....

It was Halloween! This year has been the year of perpetual rain. And so the one Saturday Halloween in Grace's six years of trick or treating and it was miserable. Our street carnival got moved indoors and then back outdoors and probably ended early due to the drizzle that was hanging in the air. Lily did not last long in her strawberry costume and Grace put her fleece lined raincoat on over her Strawberry Shortcake and took off the wig. I have no pictures on my camera of the event(hoping for the nicest neighbors in the whole world and friends and family to pull through on some pictures of the girls for me.) We then ate our annual neighborhood fall picnic of chilli's and soups and other wonderful food. Then set out the trick or treaters. The moms huddled under the tents with bowls of candy in our chairs waiting for all the trick or treaters. The dad's headed out with kids in tow looking for the best treats in the land. They actually stayed gone longer than I would have ever imagined on such a yucky night. But we were all home, candy passed out and in bed before 9:00. So much for a late Saturday night of fun in the fall. Oh well fun was had and next years will be even better! Kudos to Mrs. Holly for organizing the event and cleaning out her garage for all the food to be kept dry and thank goodness for the Reeves and Metiviers tents.
If I get some pictures from the aforementioned friends or family members I will post them or time willing and ear infections easing I will put them back in their costumes for some pictures after the fact.(Yes Lily has her double ear infections again/still and is getting two shots a day for the next three days and then to the ENT we go)
