The boys went trick-or-treating for the first time (really). OK, we went around to friends' apartments at SVS the past couple years, but this was their first adventure into the "neighborhood" with other miniature super heroes, military children, talking animals, high-society royalty, cartoon characters, and the like. When I told them earlier in the day that we would go trick-or-treating after Vespers Elias hugged me tightly and said, "You are the best Mom ever!" As if I wasn't sure he felt that way!
Grandaddy bought the boys these costumes, Batman and a "soldier" as Elias likes to say. We limited our jaunt to one smallish neighborhood without traffic, where the houses are close together and where there were many other little ones with which we could roam the streets. After we hit every house with an inviting porch light aglow, we headed to the Skate Church down the street from our house for some free hot cocoa and some running around the indoor skate park. The boys had a blast slipping and sliding on the ramps!
Enjoy these snapshots from our much-needed night of fun with the kiddos:
Ready to go...
The trick-or-treaters! You wouldn't believe how many comments Fr. Justin got on his "cool, awesome, interesting, original" costume!
Oatmeal Pie ... Sweet!
"Mom, look what I got!"
That's one tired super hero!
Love to you all!
