A fun Halloween is what Mara called it. Last night the kids got all dressed up for a night on the neighborhood. Mara’s neighbor Sophie and sister Allyssa were nice enough to come over and ask her to come out and trick or treat with them. Mara was nice enough to allow her Dad and brother to tag along. We all went out with some of the neighbors and made a run of it. Although the older children kept ahead of us, Mara and Sophie tagged along with each other bringing up the rear. It took a little while for Mara to travel up to the doors by herself, but she got the hang of it quickly. Campbell made only about half the doors. The kids were very cute.
Mara’s energy lasted quite a long time, and Dad’s arm was good enough to last just as long carrying Campbell, for all of us to go up a street or two in the neighborhood. The kids got enough candy to last them a little while.

Review of the night’s take.
Love the costumes! Sounds like all of you had a great time–wish we could have seen them get all excited!

Adorable. I think that zebra costume could possibly transform into state prison attire for next year! Hope mom stayed out of the candy….I know I haven’t!

It was lots of fun. Mara loved it and had been talking about her costume for so long. She just wanted to be a Zebra so bad!
