Today is Halloween!<\/p>\n

Owen and Isla dressed as a Clone Trooper and a Teletubby, respectively. Here they are:<\/p>\n

This is a somewhat staged photo, as Isla did not ride a scooter around the neighborhood, despite the fact that Po, her character, is often depicted with a scooter. Also, Owen kept the mask up on top of his head for most of the festivities.<\/p>\n

Here’s a picture of them on their way to trick-or-treat:<\/p>\n

Owen is using his Star Wars pillowcase for treats, and Isla is using a plastic jack-o-lantern.<\/p>\n

This is Owen’s second year as a Star Wars character, having dressed up last fall as a Jedi. I’m hoping this is his last foray into Star Wars Halloween costumes, as I’d like to see him diversify a little.<\/p>\n

First Jennifer took the kids around the block, then I took them around two more blocks. I brought them home, and Owen declared he wanted to go out some more. Jennifer said, “Well that’s good, because your cousins are coming over to go trick-or-treating with you.” So, we waited around for a few minutes, and then their cousins showed up. The two-year olds stayed inside, while Owen and I went out with Jay and Lyric.<\/p>\n

There are some rather intense Halloween celebrants in our neighborhood, including one house with a cauldron of dry ice and adults in full, scary costumes. There was another one with a gigantic blow-up gothic carriage, grotesque pumpkins, and a guy in a joker outfit running around down the street scarring people. Another home featured a cemetary with people acting real creepy. Isla was too scared to even go up to one house. And I had to coax Owen into approaching another. One of the last homes we walked up to had a “Vote Yes” (regarding the marriage amendment) sign in the yard. I thought that was a little too scary for the kids, but Owen’s cousin wanted to give it a try. Alas, their gate was locked. Jay said, “Well, if you had a ‘Vote Yes’ sign in your yard, would you show your face?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
