under the magnolia tree

It was a cold but sunny evening.  I bundled them as usual and off they went with George as they always do.  I stayed behind with a fire going, a big cup of hot tea, and a whole basket of candy.  Pretty nice, I'd say.

This year Magnolia and George went along with neighbor and friend, Bryn.

George goes to his first house to trick or treat.  Love that smile!

Magnolia had real stamina this year.  They came back to drop off George ,who wanted to call it quits and was quite happy with his small stash, while Magnolia and Bryn went back out again.

He was a great helper handing out candy.

It was a big day for all of us.  Prior to trick or treating we had our annual block party complete with a bouncy house and a visit from the fire station.  We all went to bed early completely exhausted and looking forward to a (somewhat) quiet November.  So long October!

(Magnolia gets her turn as a cop at her school Halloween Party.  Here they are performing some Halloween songs for all of the parents.  "It's Magic!")
