Henry, aka Salmon Sashimi, all dressed up for Halloween. He was a bit like a dog chasing his tail with the pillow on his back, but he was definitely interested in all the activity going on around him. And he was definitely interested in the shiny candy wrappers that big sister was so focused on. (No, we didn't let him try any...but we thought about it!)
Madelyn, aka Star Song of the My Little Ponies. I've decided that I will totally indulge this toy obsession of hers because it's fancy hair and pretty accessories attached to ponies as opposed to busty, long-limbed, tip-toeing humans. She'll want to play with Barbies eventually, I'm sure, but I'm going to keep these ponies around as long as I can.
Hope you all had a fun Halloween! We were super excited to get a steady bunch of trick-or-treaters this year after years of no kids. I think that's a great sign for our little neighborhood, and we had a blast trick-or-treating at our neighbors'. One older couple with no kids even had special treats just for Maddie and Henry which totally made me think of one of my neighbors growing up who did exactly the same thing for me and my siblings every year. I am feeling more and more invested in our little community here and am looking for ways to serve our neighbors and bring us together. Any ideas or things that work for you?

good for you and the my little ponies! i'm with you all the way on that! i can only imagine how difficult it would be to raise a girl...you guys seem to be doing a fantastic job!
You could close off your block with city permission on July 4th and have a block party! Have everyone bring something to share and few fire works...lots of fun!
