What a night! Natalie and kids arrived all dressed up; Natalie as a witch, Winnie as Power Ranger and Oliver was Buzz Lightyear. The kids were so excited and were even more thrilled when presented with their goodie bags. Oliver, who is not allowed to eat much sugar, had one hand holding a lollipop while the other clutched a Halloween cookie. He said that Halloween was his most favorite day ever. Love that. They stayed almost an hour before Melanie came down with three girlfriends for some birthday cake. One group coming in, one group going out to trick or treat the neighborhood!
The girls were so cute but it was hard to have a decent conversation. I so want to spend some time with Melanie so we can have a good chat. Maybe a cup of coffee together. Something.
After cake, they left and we had a moment of silence before Natalie and her entire family including Ethan came back to show us all their goodies. They loved being in our neighborhood as it is so safe and not crowded with people or cars. They headed home.
After 8:30, our house was quiet again, no more visitors rang our doorbells asking for tricks or treats and I put away most of the decorations. Out came the pilgrims. It's onto Thanksgiving with Christmas just around the corner!
