trick or treat!

and the main event... treat or treating around our neighborhood

the big event required bows on the pig tails in addition to the tiara

an interesting use of a candy bucket

our neighborhood is perfect for trick or treating - lots of house close together, and a seemingly infinite selection of blocks. we opted for a quick lap around our block. caroline was game for more, but after about 3 houses Q started declaring, "i want to go home. i think i have enough candy."

inspecting the loot. quite a haul considering we only did one of a gazillion blocks.

yup someone gave out generic-brand orange soda. we let the kids try it but they both declared it "too spicy!"
