Bill braved the traffic to Salem Ma (Halloween headquarters) to see the boys before they hit the streets begging for candy. Malikai was a lion (here he is sans furry hood) and Wyatte was Spidey (obviously).
(Bill here. I've had some experience painting the kids faces on Halloween. I'm guessing that the elaborate spidey-face will end in disaster when it comes time to wash it off. I painted Bret and Joey's face one Halloween and lets just say the clean up ended in tears for all. I probably shouldn't have used that can of spray paint.)
Meanwhile, Gramma Jen was holding down the fort on Atwood. We had a record number of Treaters this year, probably due to power outages in the surrounding towns. Laura and I built a fire in the yard and doled out candy. Our favorite costume was a tiny little Amelia Earhart dressed in a bomber jacket and aviator hat with a wodden plane strapped over her shoulders that her dad made. Didn't get a photo cause Bill still had the camera in Salem.
Alison, Loren and Jolie come by every year. Jolie was enjoying Halloween much more than this photo indicates. Pete, Denise and the boys also made their annual appearance. Where was Ms Walth??? (That's right, Chi, I'm calling you out on the blog!)
By 8:00 the candy was gone and it felt like midnight. Another successful Halloween.
