A Stars Wars Halloween

It certainly didn't feel like October 31st after an overnight snowstorm but kids and Halloween is really non-negotiable so we added a few extra layers and enjoyed the festivities. We started off at the local mall as a warm-up. Miles wasn't at all interested in fighting with the crowds so he stuck with me while Simon and Granddad collected candy from the stores. It wasn't long before Simon was done with collecting and wanting to get started on consuming it all. I managed to appease him with a box of Smarties.

After dinner, we had the boys ready to go and were waiting for some signs that trick or treating was starting up. Miles joined us for a few houses and then stayed home to hand out candy. Simon was a trooper. He endured the cold and snow for not just one trip out, but two. A child after my own heart.

The Halloween aftermath wasn't so hot. Matt was up most of the night with a sick child and we were changing the sheets and playing musical beds. We don't think it was a result of the candy spike but I guess we'll know for sure next Halloween :)
