Hallowe'en deserves an exclamation point because I am no late posting photos!
This year Sam wore what we affectionately refer to as the "robot death mask" he got from Grandpa Gene this summer as a gift out of the blue. In all fairness to G.G., he took Sam to Runnings figuring he'd walk out with a toy car or tractor. But the RDM has been a huge amount of fun for Sam, and we were delighted for him to have a costume picked out so far ahead of time, which is not usually the case.
It was a warm Hallowe'en this year, and only rained a little. We walked around the neighborhood and Joshie was in toddler heaven, having not realized there was ever a time when he could walk up to strangers' houses, utter magic phrase, and be given candy.
Without further ado, some photos...

| Josh is sitting on what he referred to as the "daddy pumpkin" because it was the largest. |
 |
| Sam carved this guy. Or drew him and had help from me with carving. I like how frightened he looks. |
 |
| Josh wore a spider costume which Ruth passed along a few years ago, originally worn by Katie. The spider's legs are attached to his sleeves by strings so that as he bounced excitedly from house to house his limbs bounced in rhythm. Both costumes were hits with the neighbors. |

| Sam's mask has a voice modulator so that he even sounds like an evil death robot. |
All in all a real success. Very exciting that my fall conference didn't interfere with it this year, as it did last year.
