Happy Halloween!

From 2 ninjas, a witch, and a little lamb!

We went to our church's trunk or treat on Friday night, went to the pumpkin patch and carved pumpkins Saturday, and then trick or treated in the neighborhood on Monday. Nate and Ava were really into the trick or treating. Brenna, however, was super worn out from a field trip she had taken that day. Her gifted and talented class met at the school at 4 a.m. to drive down to the Ocean Institute at Dana Point to spend a day dissecting fish, boating, and performing science experiments right on the boat. But after getting up that early she was d.o.n.e. and only went up one street with us before heading home. Gwen was a funny little trick or treater because she was so gung ho to get to the door, then did everything right up until it came time to turn around and leave. Instead, she would pop her thumb in her mouth and stare down the person who had just given her candy. I'm not sure what was going on in her head but it looked as though she were deciding if the candy distributors could be trusted.

Lucy tolerated her costume well.

Gwen barreled through her candy the fastest. By Wednesday it was gone and she told me "I need to go trick or treat again!"
