My youngest one dressed up as a ghost for Halloween this year. He's still a preschooler, so we went to the library's spooky story time with costume parade afterward. We had a great time.

| Getting treats from Ursula! |
The librarian was dressed as Ursula the Sea Witch from The Little Mermaid, but she promised to be good for the day. At the end of class, in addition to giving out treats, she read some Halloween-themed jokes:
Q. What is Dracula's favorite holiday?
A: Fangsgiving.
Q. Why does a witch ride a broom?
A. Because a vacuum cleaner is too heavy.
Q. What do you call a witch's garage?
A. A broom closet.
Q. Why did the ghost go to the carnival?
A. To ride the roller-ghoster.
A fun time was had by all and it was a good opportunity to test the costume out.
After dinner, we went to
Carroll Baldwin Hall for their haunted house, which was delightful and short. Just the older kids went, along with a reluctant grandpa.

The organizers gave us the option for scary or not-so-scary. We opted for scary and had a fun trip through. At the end, they had a table with candy!

| Snacks for the brave |
Back at the house, we suited up and headed out for trick-or-treating. My daughter wanted to take the year off, so she stayed behind and gave out candy. The weather was so nice, we set up a station at the end of the driveway.

The candy haul was impressive. Of interest was the most educational candy, Twix, which teaches you your left from your right.

The non-candy item this year was Play-Doh. We got two or three jars!
