Happy Halloween!
We planned a day of carving pumpkins and handing out yummies to trick-or-treaters. I'm not a huge halloween fan and since Miles is so young, I didn't plan on dressing him up in costume. At the last minute, David walked upstairs with his Elvis wig and jiu-jitsu garb declaring that as his halloween costume. Halloween costume? I didn't know we were dressing up! He offered me a sombrero and I put on a long-forgotten dress that my grandmother had purchased in Mexico...and, well, I guess I sort of had a costume to shuffle around in. Although, I think I might be bending gender roles by wearing the dress and sombrero at the same time.
Miles is practicing his jiu-jitsu submission moves on the padre.
After living in our neighborhood for over 3 years now, we know what to expect from our trick-or-treaters. We had the canned food ready for those seeking food for charities and the change collection at-hand for UNICEF donations. Sure enough, we gave most of our donations away to the first visitor at our door. I love the idea of giving more than just candy for Halloween!

That IS a great idea! What a fun way to spend Halloween! (I've never been a huge fan either but maybe I'll get into it later on in life when my kids do... and I PRAYED that Joselyn wouldn't be born on Halloween!)
I think David needs to be buried wearing his Elvis wig. I know you all don't think about things like that, but at my age, hey, it comes natural.
