Even though I should be thinking about Thanksgiving and I've already been Christmas shopping, I wanted to take a moment to add my favorite Halloween picture from this year. Grant was a storm trooper this year following on last year's showing as Darth Vader. The Cinellos graciously gave us Charlotte's sweet bumblebee costume so it was not only precious but free to us!My favorite Halloween memory occurred when Grant was four. He had eaten his dinner and asked for ice cream on Halloween night. I said, "I don't think you should have dessert tonight. You're going to be eating a lot of candy later." His expression changed to dismay and defensiveness, "But, Mrs. Willis told us not to eat any candy tonight, because we have school tomorrow!" Always my literal child who has had a difficult time learning when to take a joke. (Although his Poppy has been working on that!) When I told Mrs. Willis what he had said, she said "Well he was probably the only one listening!"
