Scary Night

I know this is one of those things that, as a mother, I really need to discourage. Really, it's not good for the long term relationship between these girls, not good for the short term either.

Bad. Naughty (my hand is covering my smile and I'm trying really hard not to laugh).

On another note, here are the three little monsters- a vampire, pumpkin and a witch.

Highlights from the night:

"That's a good one, mom" Said by Havi for no real reason at all as we walked from one house to another. Maybe it's just me, but that made me laugh.

Another Havi, as she's about half way through the trick-or-treating route and feeling the weight of her bucket: "Just two more houses and that's IT. Oh, and that one... just THREE more houses and that's IT!"

Teah had ulterior motives tonight- she collected moths as well as candy. Monday is LeRoy's birthday, and Teah wants to give him moths in a jar to use for his fishing.

Down the street from us is a the SCARY house. They go all out with costumes, ghosts, body parts all over the yard, etc. They even have a spook alley through their backyard, it's awesome. The girls have been talking about all month, and tonight, Havi told me to "wait right there, mom" on the sidewalk as she marched right up the skull walkway to the scary man and said, "Trick or treat". She got her candy, came back as proud as can be and we walked away with her telling us all about how brave she was. I was proud of her. Teah wanted to wait until it was really dark to go to the scary house, which we did. She even went through the spook alley... holding my hand really tight.

Eden stayed home with LeRoy and handed out candy. She waved and said, "HI!" to everyone. EVERY ONE. Cutie.
