trick or treat

Well, it certainly wasn't the warmest evening to head out trick-or-treating with the kids last night.  Not only was it cold (upper 30s/low 40s) but it was windy.  The one consolation was that the persistent rains of the last couple of days did let up at last, so at least we weren't cold and wet.  But we were definitely cold. 

Regardless, fun was had by all... and I do mean all of us.  We had each selected our costumes weeks ago.  The kids and I even managed to talk their dad into dressing up, too!  The girls decided on being fairies... Hope's costume was complete with dress and wand as well as fairy wings, where I simply wore fairy wings (over several layers of shirts/sweaters).  Geoffrey went as Luke Skywalker.  And what exactly did the kids and I talk dad into wearing?  Superman!  (Well... a Clark Kent/Superman combination at least.)
