Trick or treat

We took our mermaid, pirate, and octopus to the neighborhood where our house is being built. They had a wonderful time trick-or-treating and Sam and I enjoyed meeting our new neighbors. It was fun to watch the girls' personalities come out as they looked over their loot at the end of the night. Grace didn't want to eat too much sugar, so she started to choose which pieces of her pile that she was going to give to her teacher's family the next day. Madeline spent so much time organizing and counting, that she didn't get to eat all the candy that we allowed for the night. Charlotte, we found out, holds the world record for speed lollipop eating. After we shut her off, we caught her slyly cracking the wrappers open and licking them. When she saw us watching her, she smiled, shrugged her shoulders and waved at us.
