For our Halloween costumes this year we went with a Mario Bros theme. Will still doesn't have a say in his costume so it's easy to coordinate. Britton doesn' have too much choice in his costume either. He's lucky I let the t-shirt fly this year. I'm already planning something more outgoing for him next year. Our neighbors joined us so we had almost the whole Mario mushroomy crew. Halloween was pretty busy because we attended a party at church and then went straight to another one in our courtyard. I'm 0 for 2 in the annual chili cook-off. Maybe I'll have better luck next year if I use bacon. The church party was really crowded, and Will was mostly overwhelmed by all the weird looking people and noise. I loved seeing all the cute kids in their costumes. There were lots of princesses for Will to save, but luckily there was another Mario there to help out.
Britton's parents, grandma, and secret service agent brother joined us for both parties. Alex, Will and I toured the neighborhood for candy and did pretty well. The kids go to the back doors, and our neighborhood is a concentrated wonderland of candy at Halloween. Except for those houses that hand out things like pretzels and inedible things like play-doh. Oh, wait, that was me. I thought I'd give the kids a break from all the sugar. I hope they weren't too disappointed.
