This Halloween Eleanor chose to dress up as a butterfly, and Caleb was a spotted puppy. We went to Lee Street in Old Town, our favorite local trick-or-treating destination. The air was chilly, and the trees lining the street were the most breathtaking shades of orange and gold. Although we started early, before five, it didn't take long before the neighborhood was bustling with hundreds of families.
More than once, to my heart's delight, Eleanor exclaimed how much she loved trick-or-treating. In fact, several candy passer-outers commented on her enthusiasm. Her "Trick-or-treat!" was comparable to the welcome one receives at his own surprise party. As for Caleb, he was fascinated by all of the unusual sights and sounds and was completely content being worn in the Bjorn carrier.
Before it got too dark, we went to Chipotle for half-price burritos and tasted a candy treat or two before heading back home. Then, we stopped at a couple of our own neighbor friends' homes before calling it a night. It was indeed a marvelous night that ended with chocolate and lollipop filled bellies and more than enough special memories to last us until next All Hallow's Eve!
