Trick or treating happened again! Our new friends who moved here from Australia, the Hedts, invited us, the Shroeders, and Lashmits over to help them celebrate their first American Halloween. Our kids, of course, went as children’s book characters. Presenting the Mysterious Benedict Society!
Milligan, the world’s best amnesiac secret agent dad, ready to protect and serve:
Number Two, clad in her trademark yellow, surrogate mothering our band of genius child spies:
The Great Kate Weatherall, with red bucket filled with useful items like a swiss army knife, slingshot, twine, and other things you just might need to get yourself out of a jam:
The highly precocious Constance Contraire, with her contraband pencils, reminding us that “rules and schools are tools for fools!”:
Kate’s pet peregrine falcon, Madge:
And the whole gang at Imani, Quinn and Mieka’s:
Lizzie’s swim team bestie, Holly, joined us for the evening, since she lives out in the country:
And sweet Imani carried Annie most of the way between the houses.
It felt so great to be back to normal life!
Great costumes!!
