Suck it up Daddy, I want some candy!

This Halloween will be one for the books I'm sure. Obviously, with it being Harper's first year of actual door to door trick or treating, it will hold a special place in our hearts. However, there will be an additional memory that came with this momentous event. Adam was sick!!! If you know me at all you know that this statement deserves exclamation points.

Adam came down with some sort of stomach flu late Saturday night. As the soldier that he is he tried to do a little studying in the library Sunday morning; but after a valiant effort...spent the rest of the day in bed. We all had plans to go over to Harper's friend Katie's house for some trick or treating in their neighborhood. This did not happen. By 5 o'clock Adam was awake and ready to give it a go for his little princess, but we decided to just go to a few houses on our street to keep it as easy as we could. We got the baby in her costume, the wagon out of the garage, and we were off... 5 houses later, we were done.

Harper did great! She walked right up to the house, pounded on the door, then contemplated which piece of candy she was going to take before EVENTUALLY choosing one. I will say, with Adam being sick, and Harper only allowed 1/2 of a little tootsie roll a day, that little bit of candy lasted a LOOOONG time.

Here are some pictures of my little Peacock.
