Happy Halloween!!

It's been a hectic and fun-filled few weeks leading up to Halloween, and the weekend proved no disappointment. Despite a wintery mix on Saturday, Sunday turned out to be a sunny, warmish day, perfect for the annual Burke Station Square halloween parade. The whole Morgan crew turned out, and the kids were great sports through the whole thing. Brennan was a little reluctant to keep his alter ego a secret, but we were eventually able to distract him enough that he kept his mask on for almost an hour, from parade to pool parking lot party.

So, after all of the practice on Sunday, the costumes were like second nature for the kids in time for Monday evening's festivities. The night kicked off with the annual (only 2nd for us) cul-de-sac party with our neighbors, followed by a little trick or treating. Audrey, Brennan, Parker and Bridge all hit a few houses in our neighborhood, then went down the street to the Lowdens neighborhood - except for Brennan - he wasn't particularly interested in the trick or treating, and spent most of his time trying to avoid holding hands, stumble down the sidewalk, and check out the garage doors on each house we stopped at. Audrey and Parker really enjoyed themselves, though they're still both a little too shy to give an enthusiastic "trick or treat"! I'm sure they'll get the hang of it by next year.

We spent the rest of the night hanging out by the fire in the cul-de-sac, while Audrey hung out with our neighbor Lauren and the rest of the older neighbor kids, and exchanged all of their unwanted candy (Audrey mostly just sat, watched and listened), but she seemed to have fun anyway.
