Raaaaaar!


One very nice thing about "events" not being set in motion yesterday was that we got to take Lucy out for her very first trick-or-treating experience. Four houses. This year has been soooo amazing, watching the wide-eyed wonder and excitement with which my daughter experiences all the amazing spices life has to offer.

From checking up at the sky a few times with her to see if any witches were flying around to watching her run (out of pure excitement) along the sidewalk with a candy bag and tiger tail flying behind her to watching her very methodically remove, count, and place in a line thirteen pieces of candy (her haul for the evening) and pick one to eat that night; it was fun beyond description.

Costume is great! Tigger right? Just kidding Dan. She looks like the best bengal tiger that I have ever seen. Glad you folks had a good time. Jonah had fun downtown after school, but didn't want to go from house to house. He liked passing out treats to kids at grandma's. Emily and I went around a couple of blocks. She was a pirate.

Why only four houses? Those are the only ones that you can trust?

Good stuff.

Four houses for a couple of reasons. Partly that houses are a bit few & far between that we know & trust, but also: she's only 3. 13 pieces of candy in 4 houses - that's pretty strong. We didn't think she needed any more than that.
