Happy Halloween

The promise of candy brought the boys to the streets of our new neighborhood for some good old fashioned trick or treating. Coincidentally, a very Halloween-like black cat greeted us just as we were getting out of the car. The boys called her Stella and pet her for a few minutes. She was just as friendly and even looked like her, it made me smile. Going door to door was a nice way to get a feel for our new neighborhood and the people there. We even ran into some people we knew, but didn't realize they lived in Bouldin. The kids enjoyed picking candy, knocking on doors and yelling "trick or treat!" and got lots of compliments on their costumes. At the end of the night, Dean finally threw me his hat, saying his head was all sweaty. When we got home, they both dumped out their bags to evaluate their candy. Dean wasn't familiar with them so kept asking me, Mommy what's this one? Mommy, what's this one? I think it'll take us a while to get through this stash.
