Disguised as a family of four, the Parker Garvins goes out for Halloween.

While the grandmothers watched Bailey and Netta, the rest of us went to a Halloween party in the neighborhood. Notice the pre-trick or treating pumpkin buckets contain wine and sparkling cider…

The party was at neighbor and preschool friend, Henry’s house. Yummy chili was served and I think I ate seven pieces of cornbread. I’m not kidding. Kids sweets-pumps were primed with cupcakes.

Then the mob of children trick or treated together as a pack.

“The Workest Monster” inspects his loot.

Art’s block city.

(Jess adds: This was built during Art’s “nap” one day. I think he was working on it for a good hour while Lewis slept five feet away in the bottom bunk and I was asleep in the next room. Then Art came in to wake me and say he had made something really cool that I needed to see. And indeed, it was really cool.
