This year was Caleb's second year trick or treating around the neighborhood(prior to last year he went to the shops on the plaza), and Max's very first! Last year Max was not walking yet, and Andy was in the belly. We started off the evening heading to the plaza with friends Star and Phil with their youngins Araya and Orion, and Joy and Aaron and their little Ani (she comes over during the week). There were lots of kids running around in cute costumes getting candy. As this was Max's first time, he was SUPER excited and laughing and wide eyed. Andy was excited but chill as usual. Then we headed back home where everyone had some din din. Matt made enchiladas and rice. The grownups enjoyed hot cider and brandy and long island ice teas and the kids had sparlking cider. When it came time for trick or treat Andy wanted to stay home, which was unusual. Max and all the kids went charging out. Caleb and Araya and went ahead of us 'cause the little ones were too slow. Max was a bit confused at first, but got the hang of it. He likes going up to people's houses on our walks so.... yeah he liked that part! By the end he was tired and had fallen during one of his exuberant runs between houses, and it was time to head home. the older kids went a little further. We live on a busy street, but a few blocks up on our street is a calm cul-de-sac that we went to which worked out great. Everyone stayed up late (Andy was slap happy) and had a good time. I got a little tipsy which was fun (lot's of time pregers=no drinky). Happy Halloween...next Thanksgiving. P.S in honor of his 10th month birthday, Andy started walking with the push mower today( not totally walking , but still, ahh too fast that they get bigger) Max went as his Super Self, in case you were wondering what his costume was. I was going for something else, then at the last minute added his name and made him Super Max! Caleb went as a knight
