Halloween hub-bub

Living in a community setting like we do with other families in the same boat makes for a great place to go trick or treating! The kids had a blast dressing up (which for us is a daily activity). Gabe made his own costume...and while I'm sure you've already figured it out, he was a "spotted bug." I'm gonna say he loved telling people what he was...though I would have grown tired of trying to explain. Drew was a cowboy, complete with a horse on a stick...which slowed down the process of walking up and down stairs to visit each apartment. Ian was Dash from the Incredibles, though he insisted I carry him up and down the stairs...which was anything but fast, Dash. Cora was a tiger, content to sit in her stroller and people watch--I mean, really is there a better day for people watching? We ended the evening by heading to a bonfire for a friend's birthday. On the way home Gabe complained of his stomach hurting. When I asked why, he told me he thought he ate too many marshmallows. I asked how many he had. His response, "I think 8 or 9." Ugh. He didn't ask for any candy that night.
