What?!? Halloween is NOT 10/30

I am trying to understand...really, I am. Local politicians, for whatever reason, love to change the day Halloween is celebrated by trick-or-treating to a day "convenient" for, for, for.... I have NO idea who. Come on. The act of trick-or-treating lasts approximately two hours-- 6-8ish...Anyway, at the last minute, I realized High Springs decided 10/30/10 was trick-or-treat night. Normally, I like to go against the "rules," but tonight I gave in... and tomorrow night I will revolt and trick-or-treat all over again... Take a stand, folks!
Dragging the boys across town into the "historic district"


Complete with snacks. Noah refusing to wear his ears. Officially he is a baby with a black nose dressed in brown clothes...

...telling McKinnely a secret.

At least some of the folks got the memo.

Gavin was so proud of his hard-earned candy. He examined his bag every few feet, "Look at all those suckers!" Most of these homes were very well decorated with large spiders (poor Gavin, I think he has a new found phobia), tombstones, lights, and scary sounds. And the candy! Good, good, candy-- Kit Kats, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Almond Joy, M&Ms, oh be still my heart!



Look for round two...

Puppies!

My little puppies! Yes, I am dedicating one whole post to these cutie pie puppies.

Noah refuses to wear his ears and he rubs his little nose off every chance he gets...


Gavin, on the flip side, stays in character. He will not respond unless you call him "Clifford" or "little puppy." Also, he barks-- nonstop. And growls.

Sweet, little puppies
