We had great weather for trick-or-treating. Because our new neighborhood doesn't have any sidewalks, or street lights, or other Halloween safety features, we drove to our friends' neighborhood, which is much better equipped. Houses in Tennessee are a bit further apart than those in D.C., so we got our exercise and worked of the candy as we were eating it (wishful thinking).Once again Nana made the girls' costumes. No princess dresses this year. Gavi was Pocahontas and Juliana was a kitty cat (a tribute to our newly adopted Ollie). One friend questioned whether we would let Juliana wear the same costume if she were 14. Hmmm. We don't like to think about those teenage years yet.
Ben had a choice of several costumes, but he liked his "baseball" the best. He refused to wear the baseball cap or carry the ball and glove, but he enthusiastically carried the treat basket (a baseball Easter basket from his Papa, recycled for Halloween).
