Trick or Treat (0)

The Group
Halloween Night. We took the kids to Steve and Natalie's place. We have been taking Sophia and Barrett trick-or-treating together since their first Halloween. We started with a small meal for the kids and then hit the road on a crisp and windy night. The big girls had lots of energy this year and did a great job of saying "thank you" at each house.
Francesca rode in the double stroller between houses. We referred to it as her coach. She would run back from a front door and hop in. Lying back with her candy filled pumpkin; she relaxed as I pushed her down the sidewalk.
Of course what would Halloween be without obnoxious teens. I can safely say that if you are old enough to have your own cell phone (and carry on a conversation between houses), you are too old to go trick-or-treating.

On the Candy Trail
We had left a bowl of candy on the porch, and when we got back found it cleaned out (probably by one group of kids). The kids watched a movie while we sat outside, handing out candy and eating some fantastic chicken and dumplings that Natalie had made. Nothing is better on a cold fall night!
