halloween

we drove up to connecticut after music class and ballet class today to spend halloween with my sister and brother-in-law. the trees driving up were so beautiful. we couldn't stop ohhhing and ahhhing. (i took a few pictures of the leaves when we arrived, but it was getting dark already and i'm not so crazy about the lighting that came out for many of them, but this one was alright.)


my sister had made us a delicious dinner before embarking on the candy collecting! we had pumpkin soup and salad and then m and c got into their costumes. m was heidi and c was laura ingalls (korrina made the costume for her). m alternated between wearing my sister's wooden shoes and running barefoot. we were lucky that the rain held off until 8:30 pm. we were able to visit a lot of houses and the loot was quite extensive.
