This was by far one of the best trick-or-treating experience I've had with my kids. The Tolmans joined us, which made it so much more fun. Erin and her mom were nice enough to man the door for us so we could all head out with the kids. The weather was pleasant, so a lot of people were able to sit on their front porches and hand out candy. Our neighborhood is so close together and so incredibly safe that I had no qualms sending them to each and every house. And the joy on Ryan's face with each and every stop he made- truly priceless. He was in trick-or-treat heaven. He would run up to each house, say the words, then run back with a huge grin and show me his spoils. Occasionally he'd even give a little monkey call to accentuate his costume. Oh, the pure and utter joy was just awesome. We went just around our one block and down another street and their bags were full. A great evening with great friends. I have just our pre-Halloween pics so far. Once we get ones with momma and the doctor (myself and Steve) I'll post them.
