The memory of last Halloween is still very real to me, because I tortured myself that night with images of Josie dressed up beside her baby sister and tried not to get too bogged down in the possibility that this image would never become a reality.
But look...it did! Two magical creatures aren't they - our little unicorn and dragon?
We had over 800 kids again last night for Trick-or-Treat...even more than last year! We love our neighborhood so much and apparently every child in a 50 mile radius loves it too because they were all here. If you are looking for a good spot next year, come on down and join the insanity.
Here are some shots from Halloween. Bea stayed in her costume the whole time, lots of kids asked us where are Thing 1 and Thing 2 costumes were, and we didn't have a single peanutty-issue. Tonight we will leave Josie's candy for the Halloween Fairy in exchange for a new book and game and that will officially be a wrap on Halloween 2011.
Our magical unicorn (you can only see her if you are pure of heart)...
Early into the costumes, our little dragon wasn't so sure about the whole thing...
Just like last year, Josie had more fun passing out the candy than collecting it. It is a little overwhelming to be in a sea of kids in costumes. Here is one of the long lines at a neighbor's house...
Lou dressed up as Super Dad this year (Oh wait, that's who he is every day)...
And I smiled for about three hours non-stop because life is just so good...
And a special thanks to our buddy Brad who joined in the fun and helped man the porch while we went out trick-or-treating. You're the best Brad! Thanks to you there are lots of kids who brushed their teeth extra last night.
Hope you all had a wonderfully spooky and spectacular Halloween!
It's quickly becoming a Schneider-family-favorite!
