Halloween!

First off, I just want to record that this hasbeen a most incredible autumn! It's has been unseasonably warm, mostly sunny, and the colors have been spectacular. What a joy to experience fall in this way! I've been savoring it every day.

This year Rose decided to be a "rainbow unicorn." And the lucky duck got to trick-or-treat twice, since the retail area near us hosted a party for kids on the Saturday before Halloween.

She loved her unicorn tail!

This year she actually got into the pumpkin carving a little bit! She wanted all hearts for the jack-o-lantern. (Of course!)

On Halloween proper, Rose was ready to go! (She even added a crown to the nose of her bucket.)

We went door to door for a total of about four blocks, and she came home with a full bucket!

It was a great Halloween for all of us!
