10-31, Halloween

 Halloween was a quiet affair for us this year.  A little pumpkin-carving, seed baking and trick-or-treating.  Sven and Nikolas did a great job with the pumpkins (as usual).  I think this is the first year I didn't even get my hands dirty!  They took care of everything (how nice is that....for me?!).  Nikolas was THRILLED that I LET him do my pumpkin for me (hee hee).  Pretty soon he'll be carving them, too, I suppose.  We carved our pumpkins a little early this year, because Sven got sent off to Germany on business (so rough....).  Nikolas and I were left to our own devices for Halloween night.  We went trick-or-treating with his buddies from across the street (shown in the last photo).  I think they had a great time.  It's not such a bad deal considering half of Nikolas' loot was chocolate (which he doesn't eat).  So, we BOTH scored!  HA!  Hope everyone had a fun Halloween!

I think he said he was the "Mystery Phantom"...?
