As Bennett and Preston get older, Halloween becomes more and more about just the candy and time with friends than anything else. Preston's costume choice has been very easy the past two years, wearing football pants and one of his many football jerseys. This year Bennett was going to dress up with a bunch of friends, but ended up having a fever, so I kept her home.
Walker decided he wanted to be a pirate, which was super easy since we already had all of the stuff from Preston's dress up days. It was another beautiful day, but since Bennett was under the weather, I stayed home with her and passed out candy for the first time in years.
Steve took the boys to see Mimi, Papa and Uncle Dan first thing, as we do every year. And then they came back here and headed towards Edgewood on foot. Preston met up with friends, while Steve took Walker to several houses alone. Steve stayed in touch with Pres by tracking him with his gizmo, but he was with his friends, and they would run into each other occasionally.

hen the evening came to a close (since it was a school night), the boys came home with a big surprise for Bennett.....a HUGE bag of candy! Aunt Shell and Goo donated to the cause, as well as Mimi and Papa and others. It was a very sweet gesture, and she was just thrilled! Of course, they all had to dump out their candy to compare and trade. Even though the night didn't go according to our plan.....it worked out fine for all parties.
