Boo!

Halloween this year was pretty low-key. We went to Jeremiah's parents' house to pass out candy to the little trick or treaters. We enjoyed a roaring fire out in the backyard as we handed out regular sized candy bars to all the little kids - of course, we were the house everyone wanted to go to :).

My "costume" was fun earrings.

The highlight of the evening was one little boy about 3 years old. Last year, we also passed out candy and Jeremiah's friend was dressed up like Spiderman. This little boy, dressed up like Batman- equiped with all the big muscles and everything - just stared at Spiderman in disbelief. He was mesmorized that Spiderman was actually standing only a few feet away from him and he wouldn't even grab his candy because he couldn't take his eyes off Spiderman.

So, I took a picture of the little boy with Spiderman and emailed it to him. His dad replied saying that the picture was now handing up on his son's bedroom wall.


This year, the little boy came back and guess what he was dressed up as? Spiderman! He had been looking forward to seeing the "real" Spiderman all year. Unfortunately, our Spiderman was off at college and couldn't be there with us. We felt so bad for the little boy but it was also really cute.

The evening wasn't anything over the top, but it was still fun and just enough for us.
