Happy Halloween!

Trick-or-treating was a highly anticipated event in our household this year, as Jocelyn could not wait to wear her Tinkerbell costume, complete with wings and tiara. As soon as we got her dressed she proceeded to twirl around the living room, waving her wand and (as usual) being a complete ham for the camera.


The little man seemed to like his costume too (he went as a dinosaur), but since he hates having anything on his head it was a race to see whether we could snap a picture before he took the headpiece off. We beat him by a nose.


We went trick-or-treating this year with our neighbors the Walshes. Jocelyn and their daughter Sidney are partners in crime and walked hand in hand most of the the night, which was pretty darn cute to watch.


The only exception to that was when Jocelyn insisted on walking Coco, the Walshes' bulldog that was dressed up as a devil dog. My theory is that she likes walking the dog so much because having Coco on a leash gives her a measure of control that she does not have at home, where she is usually barking commands at her little brother, and he is ignoring her.


Although Jocelyn and Ian only lasted just long enough to make it down the street and back, they got plenty of tasty treats....


...and saw plenty of cool decorations, including the fantastic jack-o-lanterns you see here.

Happy Halloween everyone!
