For a change, I am not going to tie this entry at all into Real Estate. Except for maybe the fact that a great neighborhood can sure be a bonus. Wow was it fun seeing all the kids out and about last night. It seems like there are more and more ghosts and goblins every year. That probably has something to do with the fact that we are not the only family on the block who has added multiple children to our brood since we moved in!
Well the Newmans were successful at being sick two Halloweens in a row! Tate was sick a year ago and when Avery had a fever earlier this week we thought oh boy, here we go again. Avery was feeling just fine for trick or treating but our fears were realized with both Beckett and Tate battling the fever yesterday. (Notice how I put "the fever" instead of "a fever". Jessi loves when I talk or write like that!**) Tate and Beckett were feeling well enough to go out and collect some goodies from a few neighbors however. Besides, when Jessi goes to the effort of planning a theme, you can't leave behind one of the characters!
As you can see from the photo, Captain Hook, Tinker Bell, and Peter Pan made it out to a few homes before retiring for the night. Avery was especially putzy while we were walking the neighborhood and I kept saying, "Are you coming Tink?" My favorite was when she responded one time, "Dad, I love when you call me Tink."
Jessi started the tradition of carving the kids' names and ages in the pumpkins each year which I know we will appreciate some day when we look back at photos. Now we will have to see if a new tradition of themed costumes for the kids is started. My sources tell me there is already a theme in the works for next year!
I hope you all had a wonderful, safe, healthy, and Happy Halloween!
