Tinkerbell and Superman got a lot of loot this Halloween. Between school parades, trunk or treating at Lyla's daycare Friday night, Boo at the Zoo Sunday, and "real" trick or treating on October 31 we had enough candy to feed a small army.
This year I pulled out the outdoor decorations - didn't take any good pictures, except I caught this one of the kids admiring the lanterns glowing on the landscape wall that is falling apart (don't look too closely). They were thrilled by the glowing lanterns when we got back home from wandering the halloween wasteland neighborhood. They didn't like them very much when the sun was still shining!
We took the kids to a few houses immediately around our house because we only know a handful of our neighbors. Steven l.o.v.e.d. it! He could not get enough knocking on doors and candy filling his bag. After we went to the five or six houses we knew he had to have more, so we headed around the block to find only two other houses with lights on and appropriate halloween decor to know they weren't going to be too creepy. Maybe next year we'll try and find a neighborhood more suited to trick or treating. It really was fun seeing his excitement and maybe Lyla will have more fun when she gets older!

Tinkerbell and Lois Lane (lame, I know. I wanted Lyla to be Kryptonite but she was very happy to be Tinkerbell)
**To rid ourselves of candy, Tommy set up a "store" a couple of mornings later. He found Steven a transformer and Lyla a puppet, a few books and coloring books at the half price bookstore. He then made the kids "pay" for their toys and books with their Halloween candy. Tommy even told them he was going to give the candy to someone who "needed" it - that might not be the best message but it is OUT of our house! Great idea, go ahead and steal it!**
