Our Happy Halloween

We drove home from Rhode Island today, and the girls slept ALL THE WAY! They were well rested and ready for an evening of trick-or-treating by the time we got home.

I don't know who was more excited about their costumes, me or them. I was just glad the costumes were finished and that Jane agreed to wear her Boots hat. I couldn't, or didn't have time to, figure out how to keep her monkey hair up.

The girls got a lot of attention tonight, as did most little kids. One girl saw us from her home a few houses down and started screaming, "Dora! Dora! Dora!" She left her door and came running to Hannah but she got called back to her post as the resident candy distributor. The girls were celebrities.

Introducing, Dora the Explorer, Boots the Monkey and Swiper the Fox.
















"How's this, Mom?"
Perfect.

We went to Burns Street in the Gardens as usual, and as usual, it was festive and fabulous!





Happy Halloween, everyone!
