from my little monsters to you and yours...

_________________________________________________

the boys costumes were fitting this year,
as they literally ran from door to door.

rubin ran out of steam and insisted on being carried
(my his mama)
to each house's walkway.

after saying "trick or treat"
and then "thank you" after he received his first scoop of candy,
he politely asked each giver
"two?!"

of course, no one said no.

________________________________________________

his oldest brother was gravely disappointed
when i told him that we could only go trick or treating
one time on halloween day.

and emmett...
proudly wore his "race" apparel.

when we got home he told me that he
"won the race and didn't get hurt."

good thing.
