Hallo-Hallo-Halloween was so much fun. A busy day, as we were Deval Patrick on the same day but we managed to get out there for some trick-or-treating. We brought two other people with us, an 11 year old and a 14 year old from the house. Kevon had already been out there for two hours, so we didn't end up going with him, he went with his friends.

Little Miss Lili was so adorable. She was a fire fighting ballerina and I love the contrasts of the two and how beautifully they go together. She is fearless, strong, and helpful to others like the characteristics of a fire fighter. While she also embodies artistic expression, grace, and flexibility like the characteristics of a ballerina. Of course this is not to box in either one of these professions, and to acknowledge that fire fighters and ballerinas are many things and many characteristics and personalities.

After Khalila would say her trickortreat and get her gift, she would say to every person "thank you, happy halloween" and don't let the house have a dog, because then she didn't even care about the candy, she was all about "oh, a doggie, can I pet your dog, I want to say hello to the dog" sometimes forcing herself into the house.
