The girls were beguiled by each others' head gear.
Finley grabbed a chance to put on Maya's costume while she wasn't looking!
Carving pumpkins. Finley was pretty disgusted by the whole process.
This was the first year that Maya was really interested in carving. In fact, she drew her face and carved with Dad's oversight!

Trick-or-Treating with Odin.
Marching along.
The kids did great. We did the entire block around Mel's house which had to have been around 40 houses. Fin started off strong but eventually lost steam and took a break in the stroller. She eventually got back into the game at the end. Odin and Maya ran hard the whole time. It was great to see them together!
Maya made conversation at nearly every house. Sometimes it was to comment on exterior decorations, other times to talk about the pets inside the house and other times just to tell a funny story. One of which went something like this:
Maya: Is that a poodle?
Homeowner: Yes.
Maya: My Auntie Kate does not like poodles.
Homeowner: Oh, really?
Maya: Yes. She definitely would not like your dog. No way.
Homeowner: Oh, that's interesting.
Maya: Yeah. Happy Halloween!
What a character.
Finley charmed people with her cuteness and politeness. I was proud of both girls for their "Thank Yous" and "Happy Halloweens"!

It was a wonderful weekend at home for the whole family. I was able to take Sunday night off from rehearsal so we would be able to hang out together.
