Laowai

The rain stopped just before we went out to trick or treat. So finally we had a Halloween where we weren’t wet and freezing and huddling into our winter coats. Claire was shy at the beginning. Bea got overheated in her octopus costume. But by the end they were pros – doing more trick or treating than they have ever done. The houses in our neighborhood are pretty close together so it makes for good trick or treating. So many people decorate and many go all out with lights, music, severed heads and ghosts in the trees. You always see a few groups of parents strolling around pulling a wagon with a cooler full of adult beverages. This year our whole street was closed to traffic so it was thick with little monsters. Now Bea is off to a sleepover and Claire is sorting her candy. A great Halloween!
