I got home a little early so we could get out on time for neighborhood trick-or-treating. We paused to capture the family in full costumed regalia. Alex as Mario, Aaron as Yoshi, Becky as a Goth Witch, and me as a Jedi Knight.
Our neighbors really did a great job decorating their homes. Some had spooky lights, some played Halloween music, some were in costume themselves, and some had elaborate set-ups with inflatable Halloween "scupltures" in their yards. Alex and Aaron's costumes were recognized pretty much everywhere we went - someone even gave them extra candy because Mario Bros. was their favorite video game. One lady even walked candy out to the sidewalk where Becky and I were because she was impressed with our costumes. My light saber had a small flashlight bulb in it that wasn't really visible in the daylight, but looked cool when it got dark.
Aaron took on one other mission tonight - he had to pet every puppy he could find. Some of the dogs were even in costume. This was Buster - only 8 weeks old. We got back in time to hand out candy to the stragglers in the neighborhood and then we packed it in and got to bed. What a long but fun day!
