Halloween

The girls really got some use out of their Halloween costumes this year. Between a school parade, a celebration in dance class, and a trick-or-treat day at Daddy's office, by the time Halloween rolled around Reese and Paige were pros at the getting into their costumes.

The girls visited our four closest neighbors together then split up: Paige helped Mommy hand out candy and Reese got to trick or treat around the neighborhood. Reese was very hesitant about saying "trick-or-treat" at the houses she visited, but she did manage some "thank yous," which is more than I can say for most of the kids that visited our house.

While our neighborhood is LARGE and packed full of kids, this is the first year we've run out of Halloween candy. Paige wasn't the best helper when it came to passing out candy. She enjoyed taking the candy out of the bowl but refused to surrender it to the visiting trick-or-treaters.

When Reese returned from her trip around the block, Daddy put Paige to bed and Reese helped me pass out the remainder of the candy.
