So. Would you give candy to these two if they came to your door?

Well, a number of people in the neighborhood did exactly that last night. It was cold (hence the extremely bundled rugrats you see above) but we still managed to have a good time. This year we were prepared: Bendable glow sticks in various colors, chemical heat packs to keep our hands warm in our pockets, lots of layers, and hot water for cocoa waiting at home.

I tried snapping pictures of some cleverly-carved jack-o-lanterns, but what you see above is the only picture I took last night that came out worth anything. Le sigh. I really need to remember to actually use my camera a lot more often so I can get the hang of it. Argh.

At any rate, the kids had a good time and got a pretty good haul of sweets for their trouble. They even shared a couple of Tootsie Rolls and 3 Musketeers with their dear ol’ dad… such good children I have!
