Sadly, these are the only pictures I have of the kids this year. The first is their serious photo. Kevin is a Knight Terror, Colin is the Winter Soldier, and Gwyn is a witch. The second picture is the silly picture. I feel like Kevin won that one.
It was a really good Halloween. Kevin went up the street to walk around with friends. It was the first year he walked around without an adult. But one of the other moms stalked them a bit. I knew she would. :) She also gave her son his dad's iPhone, which had a tracker in it. She could look up the phone on a map and locate the boys at any time. And the neighborhood next to ours has so many trick or treaters, many of whom come from other neighborhoods. And there are lots of parents who sit in their garages or have fire pits in the driveway. So I felt like it was a good year for Kevin to get the freedom. Basically, they walked from Alex's house to our house and back.
Colin walked around with his friend Owen, who just moved a few houses away. So the only child we had for the evening was Gwyneth, and we invited Owen's little sister to join us. Gwyn stayed out longer than Kaitlin, longer than she ever has! So Kevin and I got to take turns passing out candy.
We are determined to get trick or treaters to our house. We had all kinds of decorations and lights up, and had spooky music playing on the front porch. We even passed out full size candy bars. But still we can not get kids to our house. We are on a side street that has about half the houses passing out candy. It is disappointing, but Kevin made up for it by sneaking up and scaring our neighbors. :)
