This week was Halloween. As is tradition, the kids pick their costumes the day after Halloween last year so they were so exited that the day finally came that they got to wear them. Merrick the Nexo Knight, Aaron, and Carrigan was princess Jasmine. Carrigan's costume was not super weather appropriate, but thankfully we had a very mild, dry night and she had a sparkly gold sweater that match just perfectly. Merrick's costume taught us some valuable lessons. First, we learned that a mask with a perfect smile and eyes that always are looking straight ahead (at the camera) makes for really easy pictures. The second thing we learned is that Lego hands do not make it easy to grab candy out of a candy bowl.
The night itself started with a Halloween themed dinner of jack-o-lantern pizza and then on to trick or treating. As usual we went with Ben and Becca's family and followed our usual course through my parent old neighborhood. After everyone was sufficiently tired and had a ridiculous amount of candy, we headed to my parents' for hot chocolate, cider, and caramel corn. It all made for a great, long night.
One last thing, I guess that Merrick made his costume look so fun that Carrigan decided she needed to give it a whirl. Never a dull moment with that girl.
