Happy Halloween!*

After all the pre-parties, it was finally time for the main event. In celebration, we carved pumpkins, trick or treated at a few neighbors homes on our very slanted street, and stayed away from all children.

* Not the Happiest Halloween. Maya started showing symptoms of Hand, Mouth, and Foot Disease (not Hoof and Mouth which is the barnyard variety) right after dance class on Thursday. She soon had painful sores all over her mouth, a fever, and little spots on her hands and feet. She was miserable for a few days and very contagious to other children for about a week. Needless to say, it put a real damper on planned Halloween activities.
