Trunk or treat!

I zipped home from work early today and we carved a couple of pumpkins. Quinn drew on the faces, I did the carving. He tried to convince me to trade jobs, but I didn't fall for that one...

We all went trick-or-treating as the royal family. Tom made us crowns (Quinn chose one from his massive collection, and Nana found one that fit her, too) but Quinn also wore a cape. He is always very serious when he puts on a cape...

Here we go!

Our little dog Baxter is having some severe fainting spells due to a leaky heart value, so we're not supposed to get him too excited. A constantly ringing doorbell seemed like a bad idea, so we handed out candy from the back of one of our cars. It turned out to be a really fun thing to do and we got to talk to the neighbors a lot more than we do just opening the door and tossing out some candy while the dogs go nutty. This (and Quinn, of course) made for a really fun Halloween!

Who is scarier?

I love this photo of Tom and Quinn at Panda Club today. We combined Autumn Moon Festival and Halloween, and the girls of the Asian sorority at the University of Arizona helped the kids make paper lanterns, decorate foam pumpkins and masks, and decorate some seriously delicious sugar cookies from a local bakery. Once everyone was hyped up on sugar we went outside for a rousing game of "red-light, green-light" and "duck, duck, goose." Ah, the classics. And the kids LOVED it!
