The Knight, the Princess, the Dragon, and the Monster

Conall and Caitlin went trick-or-treating with the boys next door again this year. Although it wasn't planned, Conall's costume was a knight, Caitlin's was a princess, Kanton's was a dragon, and August was a monster. Pretty funny, huh?

The kids really enjoyed trick-or-treating together (and with Aunt Amy, she went with us). Caitlin usually made it up to the door last, and either people felt sorry for her or thought she was cute, because she always ended up with twice the amount of candy that people gave to the boys.

She also always said "tank you" and "bye" or "bye guys." Conall kept trying to go inside people's houses and at one point requested a particular kind of candy "do you have any Skittles?" Otherwise, he remembered his manners.

We also had a cat follow us for awhile, until the boys took off running after it yelling "kitty, kitty." At another house, the cats came into the yard to greet us and hung out with Princess Caitlin for awhile, letting her pet one of them -- the one that supposedly was usually more cautious with strangers. She loved it!

The kids had a great time, got lots of candy, and, of course, didn't want to go to bed. Conall is pretty upset that "tomorrow is November." His favorite holiday is over for the year.

Monster Hands

Both of my children are horrible about grabbing and touching everything. Some people would say that they are tactile learners. Right now, I really don't care. I am so tired of everything having to be put up high, hidden away and even then, still they find something to get into. Last night, I remember Conall having my glasses and putting them on and putting them on his cat. I was busy at the time and I remember demanding them back. For the life of me, I can't remember where they were put. I have turned the house upside down today and I still can't find them. Little monster hands must have gotten them!

Update: They've been found!
