Trick-or-Treat!

Ben swooping into action to grab some candy. These boys are so nice and play football with Ben and another little neighbor boy on the grass in front of our house. We are really enjoying getting to know our neighbors better and are finally feeling like (after two years) that we have some friends on the block. Everyone is nice, it's just quiet and people often keep to themselves, so it's nice to have nights like these where everyone is out and about.
The superhero and ther mermaid. Lucy almost didn't fit into the costume, she is so long. We laughed at the conehead look she's sporting. Ben will get to wear his costume four times this week - once for the library party on Wednesday, today for our church Halloween activity, tonight for trick-or-treating, and tomorrow to school for his fall party, where I'll be helping out. I'm really looking forward to seeing Ben in his element at school and meeting his friends we hear about all the time.

Love the mermaid! Glad things are going well in the neighborhood.

Her seashell bra slays me. Looks like she's going to follow in the Dockum tradition with her lack of filling it out:) Beji cracks me up. Tell him to fly over to my house and I'll give him soda in addition to candy:) That's what aunties are good for.

Whew! Glad she has those seashells to cover her wares. :) I love the costumes.
