Sugar rush

Above is a picture of three of four kids we took trick-or-treating Halloween night. Alyssa is the witch; Paige the princess; and Kirsten the devil. We also took Oscar with us to Hope College for candy, but we picked him up a little later. Oscar was a vampire, though we joked with him that he was really a magician (You need to see the "Zoey 101" Halloween special to truly appreciate that).

We've been going to Hope College for several years. The college opens the dorms for kids and their parents and the students give out the candy. They do a great job! This year was the best organized yet and, with the extended daylight hours, we had a good time.

Jayne liked the dorm that was set up in a Lord of the Rings theme.

Elspeth was at her friend's house in Manistee. They did trick-or-treating there and, according to her friend's mother, had a good time. We head up to get Elspeth this afternoon.
