Halloween did not go as planned. I left with Aby in my arms, Claira holding my hand talking my ear off, and William running up ahead in pure excitement. At the third house we went to we met the first group of kids. This group was nothing scary, so I thought. Claira started screaming, "NO SPIDYMAN! SCARRRRYYYY!!!!" She insisted she was "all done, go home!" So with her in my left arm gripping to me in total fear and Aby in my other dead asleep I walked back down the street with William telling Claira, "its ok, I'll share my candy... I'll bring you back lots... their just pretend Claira". After taking Wil out around the block we came back only to find Claira yelling, "NO SPIDYMAN!" every time the doorbell rang or someone knocked. Poor little girl, and poor Daddy. Andy was ready to call it a night by the time the sun had set.
By the end of the night she was asking if it was a fairy or a scary man? If it was a fairy she would come running to help Wil fill their bag with treats. Maybe next year she'll come trick-or-treating.

Poor little Claira. Jack decided he didn't want to go ToTing at all. He wore his costume to visit me and that was all she wrote. :)
