Burning off the Halloween buzz

The boys were well into some yard work when daddy came home.  Every leaf was transported at least twice before they bagged it.  Lots of fun, and work, and running, and laughing.  They sure love yard work and getting their hands dirty.  They certainly take after their parents.  

Halloween was a fun day for everyone.  Arlo woke up expecting daddy to stay home because it was Halloween...and he wanted his costume on right at breakfast time.  He managed to last out the day, even did a swim lesson before dinner.  As soon as he was done gobbling down two helpings of spaghetti (a lot for him for dinner) he had his plate to the kitchen, his face Nd hands washed, and was into his costume.  The funny thing was that he plunked himself down in his costume T the bowl of candy (to hand out) a d started opening up treats because he figured that was what was going to happen.  Funny guy.  

The boys held out for about a half hour of trick or treating in the light rain.  It was right to bed for Otis after that, but Arlo took an hour or more loner than usual to settle.  Arlo and Otis both really enjoyed the day.
