community

We had a really lovely Halloween this year. Our neighbors invited us over to celebrate with them & their 4 year old. Nate & his parents also came. We ordered pizza, stayed up way too late, and generally had a great time. Zach & I watched through bleary eyes as our neighbors took turns holding Clara, entertaining Molly, and feeding all of us. Oscar taught Molly all about trick or treating by role playing trick or treat in the house about a million times, which was great because by the time they were ready to try it out for real on a few of our neighbors they were pros. Zach and I left that evening feeling the blessings of community. Molly left with a new appreciation for "treats" (one a night until the jar runs out - shh, don't tell her that we're raiding her candy while she naps!).
