Halloween recap

What a difference a year makes. The boys met at Oliver's house for dinner and some trick or treating.

Unlike last year, however, the guys were a little more on the ball about the whole getting candy thing. This is the best we could do for a group photo.

Also, I made the mistake of teaching Samson the noun "loot," as in, "Hey buddy, do you want me to hold your pumpkin? I don't want you to lose all your loot."

Big mistake: The entire drive home from Oliver's (all seven minutes of it) was a lamentation on the fact that he could not hold his "loot" and that he very much wanted to.

Even so, the boys had a great time visiting houses and digging in for some free candy. I'm not sure they got the "only one" rule, but they all remembered to say thank you at each house.

Kudos to Vicki for getting this shot at the end of the night. It lasted about three seconds before all the sugar kicked back in and they were off and running again. Hence the wailing and gnashing of teeth about "my looooot."
