Our Hogwarts Halloween

It's been a really warm October.  Right up into this week, in fact!  But today? Today, the many Elsa's trick-or-treating brought with them some cooooooooold weather and wind and we were forced to put on layers and hats and gloves and everything at the last minute.  At one point in the night, it actually SLEETED on us!  Seriously.

Harry and Hermione 

didn't even flinch when the drops and ice hit their faces, though.  

They were running door to door like pros. 

So much so, that Josh and I were grinning to ourselves when we passed those poor suckers pulling babies and toddlers in wagons.  We don't miss lugging all that around on Halloween.  Those were the days, though.  Long gone days .... or are they? :}

Anna wimped out after the first mile and had to hitch a ride, have me heave her full bag, and start skipping houses off and on.  Noah remained undaunted, however, hitting every house that was open for business in our 2 hour trek around the 'hood.  Love that kid!  HE loved the fanfare he was met with at every house, too.  Harry Potter was a BIG hit all night.

This was the haul they both brought in by night's end... before we sorted out the peanut-y death traps, that is. :}

I'm dealing with some of those offending Reese's right now, in fact, all in the line of duty. Ha! It was a great night!  Hope y'all's was, too.  Happy Halloween from Hogwarts!!
