Socialize and Treat

Here are a few pictures of the kids on Halloween. Tiler handed out candy in a costume he had from being a church camp counselor this summer. He said he would sit outside and hand out candy and watch for girls from his school. I actually agreed to this, sometimes I scare myself, am I actually allowed to be a parent? Sophie was supposed to be a witch, but in true female fashion had a last minute costume change and was a High School Musical cheerleader. We took her through the neighborhood so she could trick or treat (which in Sophie's world actually means socialize with all of the neighbors).

This is trick or treating for Sophie:

"Happy Halloween, is that your cat, oh it is so cute, I have a black cat, it is named Shakira, yes I would love to pet your cat, come inside?, okay fabulous"

"Does that have peanut butter or nuts, I am not allowed to have peanut butter, I am allergic, I get hives, sure anything you have is fine, sure I would love to come and visit and have tea sometime, thank you, happy halloween, I absolutely love your decorations"

And the classic of this year "Turn that fog machine off please, oh my, it's messing up my eyeshadow!"

Not sure if anyone else noticed this in their neighborhoods except Lyric and I, but people participating in Halloween has decreased almost in half it seemed. Michael was particulary bummed out because the voluptuous playboy bunny from last year that lives up the street did not have her lights on this year, her porch lights either!
