Trick-or-Treat

I celebrated Halloween with Marla, Jonah and William this year. Zac and Josh were off somewhere with their friends (they're at that age now), so it was just the four of us. We went out for some good old-fashioned trick-or-treating and had so much fun.

Here they are before going out. Jonah is a Star Wars Clone Wars character. If you look closely, you'll see that William's cap has a pumpkin stem on it. So cute.

The whole neighborhood was out in full force, including a father dressed like a werewolf, sneaking around in the shadows, and scaring to death all of the children. Jonah can really run when being chased. Good fun.

William lost interest and decided on a nap.


Jonah lasted for about an hour and a half before he was tired enough to want to go home. It was a euphoric tired. At one point, he turned to us with his big bag of candy slung over his shoulder and yelled, "Mom, this is a dream come true!"

Those kids really are the best way to spend Halloween.
