Hurricanes and Halloween

Well this Halloween sure shaped up to be an interesting one! With the threat of Hurricane Sandy ruining the actual holiday, festivities started early in Winchester. We had our town parade (both boys got maracas to play in the procession--the highlight!) and trick or treat on Saturday, which was so much fun. We met up with our good friends to show off our costumes, and collect as much candy as we could. Pierce loved filling his bag with candy and has asked for a treat following breakfast, lunch and dinner. Oh, no! He actually knows how good candy is now. On Sunday, we went to the Halloween party at Myopia and got to show off our elephant and giraffe costumes for Marmie and Darcy. Fortunately for us, Sandy did not cancel Halloween in our town, so Wednesday brought more trick or treating for both boys, who then crashed as they got back from their neighborhood jaunt. It was a very Happy Halloween here. Hard to believe November is already at our doorstep!

P.S. I just found out about a good friend of Santa's, the Switch Witch, who trades Halloween candy for a new toy. She is going to visit our house next year. Plus, then we can donate the candy to shelters and the troops. Our dentists will be happy!
