Because it is so warm here many people in the neighborhood brought chairs outside to hand out candy. Some people decorated their garage and walk ways all creepy and then sat outside to pass out candy. We took the kids around the block and then they each ate a sucker while we handed out candy at our house. One sucker each and a few M&M's is all the candy they ate. They are not big candy eaters, which I am happy about. Their Dad on the other had did his part to empty the candy basket. Talmage said his favorite part of trick or treating was looking at all of the houses-- there were some cool decorations and "scary" costumes that he loved seeing. I think Anya enjoyed people saying she was such a cute Snow White. She insisted on wearing her purse and crown the whole time. We had several comments about Talmage being a scary Dracula and I think people thought we painted his face white. We are pretty pale skinned compared to most people down here. There are many dark skin mixes (Hispanic, African American, Indian and Israeli, as well as Asian, and people who just plain tan) down here so a lot of the kids were hard to see in the dark but Talmages little face reflected the light so well that I could see how people would think he had face paint on.
