Whispered: “Ring the doorbell.”
Not whispered: “WHAT?!”
Spoken: “RING the doorbell.”
Ding-Dong.
“Hi. You two are cute! Great costumes. What do you say?”
Silence… Hmmm. “Thank you?”
“No, before that.”
“Hi?”
“No, after that.”
Whispered: “Trick or Treat?”
Considering how much they love candy, these kids seem to have a very hard time grasping the basic rules required to get lots of it for free.
Eventually, though, they remembered the fundamentals and Ariel and the photo-journalist came home with very stuffed treat-bags.
It was a great night. Cold, as Halloween should be, but not freezing. The street one block away was packed with dozens of kids by the time we got there. It felt like the ‘old days.’ We quickly hit the homes on that street and headed back to our cul-de-sac where it was silent. We are just far enough off the beaten path that folks don’t make it up here. At least we have enough leftover candy that we won’t have to steal too much from the kids.
The shots below are the 2007 Russell Pumpkins. Not the scariest choices in the world, but just plain cute and appropriate for our kids. A princess and her horse. A boy and his dog.
Love the photos…Gilli scared me with those teeth! And I laughed and laughed at the pic of Kip
