Happy Halloween!

This Halloween, Madeleine was fixated on the Wizard of Oz and wanted to be Dorothy, until she laid eyes on this Glenda costume we found at KMart. Ooo...pink and silver and puffy and a crown! Dorothy who? We couldn't find a fireman costume for Noah that wasn't comically or dangerously too big for him, so we put him in Madeleine's jersey and found him a hat and glove and he went as a St. Louis Cardinal. We trick or treated on our street, visited the Neudeckers in town (I need to find those pictures), and then headed out to Holts Summit to trick or treat at Gramma and Granpa's. This holiday is made for Madeleine, as we discovered last year. Dress-up, people, candy, oh man. This year, we had to keep her from walking in to our neighbor's homes and just helping herself to the candy. Noah did well, and I think was more interested in keeping up with his sister at first, then he figured out there was candy to be had. Every kid loves candy, but he's a freak about it. I think he learned the word "candy" about the same time he learned "milk".

Our final stop - Gramma and Granpa's/
