Halloween

A week after our return home from Florida was Halloween. Livvi had a party at her martial arts club on Friday the 29th, where she tried her costume out for the first time. She went dressed in a painter's smock, cowboy hat, and a star badge, armed with paint brushes in her holster.  That's right, she went as a martial (marshall) artist.  Get it?  My parents came and watched Joie at Liv's party while Heather and I went to dinner with some friends from high school.

Liv wore the same costume on Halloween while Jo dressed as a little princess. My parents and Heather's mom came over and hung out with us as well. Heather and her mom took the girls through the neighborhood while my parents and I handed out candy. We also had pizza (for us), hot cider, and had the fire pit going as it was a little chilly!

When the girls came back, they assumed the candy distribution role. Livvi even poured her newly acquired candy into the candy bowl to hand out to the other kids.  I got the telescope out to check out some stuff in the sky (Jupiter, the Moon, etc.).  I was hoping to show everyone Pleiades, but it didn't appear until after everyone left.  Besides, my mom calling me a nerd really hurt my feelings. :-)  She just calls them as she sees them!  :-)  It was good hanging with everyone that night!
