Halloween 2006

Halloween is not a whole lot different than any other day around here. Ally plays dress up with her gowns and costumes pretty much every day. The only thing is last night she went around the neighborhood collecting candy. She wanted to wear her Tinkerbell outfit, the same one she wore on her birthday. It was warm enough that she didn't need a sweater or anything, just a pink feather boa. My wife joined a few of the neighbors with their kids to form a roving gang. I stayed home and dispensed the goodies. We had a paucity of trick-or-treaters this year, so we were left with a lot of candy, in spite of my efforts to dole out two or three handfuls to the latecomers. Oh well, better to have leftovers than to be lacking and find your pumpkins smashed in the street and eggs running down the side of your house.
