Once again, we had a perfect day for Halloween. It is amazing how it happens year after year. There are lots of time where I hate Austin weather; this is not that time. It is awesome. Meagan was a "Shake It Up" dancer, Natalie kicked it old school as a witch, and Matthew wore two costumes. As you can see, he started off as a Lego, which my dad made. It was super cute, but the child couldn't run in it, or really even walk in it. He thought that trick or treating was the best! He couldn't believe that people were just giving him candy. Completely rocked his world. He also wanted to wear his costume to school again today, but I wasn't sure his teachers would have been keen on that. My cousin Becky came to town, which was a blast. The kids adore her and Halloween has kind of become a tradition with her . Matthew was fine for a half hour or so, but when it started to get dark, he got scared, so Andy took him home. We went over to our old neighbors, the Swobodas, who live a few blocks over now and have a great display, and then went to TopaJoe's and Ms. Alice's. Of course, the girls had to read with Becky, but they managed to get to sleep at not too terrible an hour for Halloween. Now Andy and I are trying to figure out how to dispose of this candy so that the two of us do not eat it all when we are trying hard with the gym. :-)
