This was the first year Maya really "got" Halloween. She was so excited to go trick or treating and dress up. In our neighborhood families decorate their homes and its a great place to walk around. Pedja decided to wear my mermaid costume to work for the annual contest. We went to visit him, and I must say he looked better in it than I did. Sadly he won second place this year. He was disappointed after taking home first place as a pirate last year. At night he was a pirate, and Maya and I were mermaids. She was Ariel, but the wig freaked her out, so I wore it. I got stopped by every little girl while we were out, it was very sweet. They were so happy to see a big Ariel. Luka never got it together as far as a costume went, so he stayed home this year. Maya doesnt eat candy and the usual halloween crap, so I traded her for a big bowl of treats she likes once she got home. I did let her keep a lollipop and she had it a few days later and LOVED it. She gave all her candy to Luka and her dad, and what they didnt eat I donated to a local dentists office, who paid $1 per pound, and ships it all out in care packages to the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
