Halloween

Bad Butterfly and Batman posing before the Halloween festivities

This Batman carries a sword

A Bad Butterfly with her scariest face.

Batman and the Bad Butterfly had a wonderful Halloween night. The activities started at a neighborhood party and culminated with our family of four sitting on folding chairs handing out candy to the neighborhood kids. In between, Batman and the Bad Butterfly did a lot of trick-or-treating.

Will took Guillermo and a friend out this year and I stayed with Maya. Last year I tried to take both of them by myself and it was horrible because when Guillermo ran to keep up with friends, I had to pull Maya along or pick her up and run. Maya and I had such a nice time this year. She talked nonstop about everything and was so happy to ring the doorbells of homes that weren't too spooky. The early evening sky was grey and cloudy and the moon was full and they both were perfect for Halloween. Maya wanted to collect as much candy as she could so the Great Pumpkin would leave her a great present and she must have. The Great Pumpkin took the candy and left Maya a Playdoh picnic bucket and Guillermo a blue Bionicle. They were entertained for hours this morning.
