Audrey and Kate had a great Halloween! Audrey helped make a spooky dinner of "mummy dogs." Ingrid and Paul joined us for trick-or-treating. Mama put some makeup on Audrey and Ingrid to make their witch costumes extra spooky. Kate was a reluctant witch; she refused to wear her witch hat. We hit most of the houses on our street, then headed towards the "holiday house" on Alameda. Just like last year it was quite the spectacle, with an Elvis impersonator, a huge crowd, and a KGW News crew filming it all (Elvis gave Audrey a candy, but Dada was too slow with the camera and didn't get a picture). At about 8:00 we headed home, making one last stop at Audrey's preschool friend Charlie's house to see his costume and get one more piece of candy. Back at home, the girls counted their loot, kept a few pieces for themselves, and then saved the rest to give to the "Candy Witch", a friendly witch who needs candy to build her candy house. If you set out candy for her Halloween night, she'll say "thank you" by leaving a present or two for you to discover the next morning. (Click here if the slideshow doesn't play.)
