Happy Halloween

The kids got really into trick-or-treating this year!  I wasn't sure what to expect since we went out after dinner - prime melt-down time - and Soren is so afraid of costumed people and spooky Halloween decorations that one run-in with a mask-clad kid could have ended trick-or-treating on the spot.  Instead, we were able to visit most of the houses on our block and the neighbors loved seeing the kids.  Chris's brother and girlfriend joined us too, so Soren always had his uncle's arms to retreat to if the scene got too overwhelming.  We still had to coach them through saying trick-or-treat and thank-you, but Oliver otherwise understood what to do and Soren got bolder about approaching houses with the other kids. 
Oliver went as the much-anticipated chicken.
 Soren recycled Oliver's old Charlie Brown costume. 

 
Uncle Andy dressed as Burt Macklin, the alter ego of Parks and Rec character Andy Dwyer.
