Halloween, continued

Sorry for the delay in continuing this post. We had a malicious virus invade our computer Saturday evening, and spent the rest of the weekend, and several hours today, dealing with it. With the help of tech support seizing the screen today to manually remove the virus (after all else failed), we are finally back up and running. What a pain!

So here are some more photos from Halloween!

This was our first stop, next door with our neighbors Jason and Heather. Lucas didn't know what he was supposed to be doing.





The house at the end of our street, on the Alameda ridge, goes all out for every holiday, even the Hallmark holidays. We are in awe of their decorating. Without exaggeration, it is safe to say they must have at least one room, and probably several, in their house completely devoted to storing and managing decorations. So, of course, Halloween is no exception, and we snapped some photos in their lawn.





After not really understanding what he was doing at the first few houses, by the end Lucas really had the hang of trick-or-treating. He would toddle on up to the house, tail wagging behind him, climb the steps by himself, walk up to the door, and stand there until someone gave him candy (he only knows about 8 words so far, and "trick-or-treat" is not among them--although I did catch a crystal-clear "pumpkin"!). He loved it! You will notice that there is no "Batman" on the porch in this picture as Lucas makes his way up the steps. Josh had already collected his goodies, yelled a "thank you" belatedly over his shoulder, and run off to the next home. But Lucas no longer needed to follow Josh, he was in it for himself by now.
