First there was a tin man

Then there was Toto

Next, came The Cowardly Lion

And this year, we had the Scarecrow.

I was one of the very few trick or treaters in the neighborhood, so I got lots of candy from people trying to make sure they weren’t stuck with it when the night was over. One man actually ran out into the road yelling “Candy!” to get me to come and get some from him!

That was not the only costume I wore this week. On the weekend, I watched The Karate Kid with The Bigs, so I dressed like Daniel-san (headband = toilet paper, belt = gauze – The Bigs could learn something from me, I generated an entire costume using things in the bathroom).

Also this week, we got our first snow of the season,


hit balls using the ball machine for the first time,

and we made baked apples stuffed with spiced nuts. We all agreed; they were gross.
