Happy day after Halloween! We survived the holiday and no one is currently in a sugar-induced coma so that's good news. It was beautiful weather for a Wyoming Halloween night and that's not always the case. My mom came over to man our door so Glenn and I took both kids trick-or-treating for a few minutes. Reina was skeptical at first but she quickly warmed up to the idea when she realized how much candy was involved. Will was fighting a little cold over the weekend so he was not as enthusiastic as he usually is. You know your kid isn't feeling well when he tells you that he just wants to go home after you hit just a few houses. Before we left, I managed to snap a few quick pictures of the trick-or-
treaters.
Why can't they both smile at the same time?
Earlier in the day, we all woke up, had some breakfast and got dressed for church. Reina's so fashionable, that even her
chupee matches her dress.
Here, she expresses her displeasure in the fact that I took "chew" away. In fact, she very well may be chanting "chew, chew, CHEW!" in this picture.
On Sunday, Will is always less than thrilled to wear non-elastic-waist pants and shirts with no cartoon characters on them. We're such mean parents.
Back to Halloween, (man, I'm really skipping around on this post, hang in there with me!) Aunt Vicky volunteered to make snacks for Will's school party and boy oh boy, did she set the bar high. We don't just send brownies, we send EYEBALL BROWNIES! Aren't these freakishly-real looking? Yum! As you can imagine, they were a pretty big hit among the 3 and 4-yr old set.
Speaking of Halloween, our house has lately been haunted by the ghost of LL Bean. He's a friendly little ghost, runs around the living room moaning in ghostly way and occasionally bounces off of the sideboard. He also proudly announces, "Look mom, I'm a ghost!"
Speaking of other excruciatingly cute things, it's a smiling Reina. In a cat hat! Can you stand it?!
Hey, it's the elusive parents again. And this time one of them is sporting a goatee. The saga of the facial hair continues. Stay tuned for future developments...
