Connor's Great Aunt Tammy came to visit yesterday (She finally made it after I gave her some not so great directions). It was great to see her, she's always a lot of fun, and makes us laugh.
Connor told her as she walked in the door "I'll give you a few minutes before I'll have you play games with me". She of course obliged. She was a great sport at Guess Who, Animal Top Trump and her all time favorite the WII.
We had about 15 kids or so (we don't have a very trick-or-treat friendly neighborhood, lots of hills, and a busy road with no sidewalks). The one's we did have were so excited! you could feel their trick or treat buzz radiating from their little bodies. I'm SO sad I missed Snow White (but I heard about her fabulous hair) and the Puppy (who walked right in lol) . I did get to visit with a cupcake and a Bee.
Connor the "Shadow Ninja" headed out around 6:30 and didn't return until 9:15. Last year Greg and Connor were out really late (trying to find the very last houses), there was an "unmanned" house with a bowl on the porch. Greg told him "It's late, go ahead and take the whole bowl", 2 seconds later Connor came running down the driveway with all the Candy and the Bowl!!!
He didn't capture any bowls this year, but he came back with the most loot he's ever had. He spent about a half an hour examining all his treasure. Handling each one with care, until he finally decided on one to eat, the marshmallow brain (how ironic! you take that brain!!!).
The Best part of the day: Seeing Connor looking forward to something extra special. Enjoying a special day, and reveling in his accomplishments.
We will miss: Our Company, she provided a much needed distraction.
Snow White and Puppy were bummed that they didn't get to see you, but oh so excited to see Connor. Brooke was ready to just make herself at home! They had a great Halloween. Angela said that Connor's costume looks "totally awesome!"
