When we came home Jeff, the great Dad that he is, took the kids around the neighborhood to fill their sacks to the brim. We ought to have candy to last us into the new year! We sat on the front porch together and enjoyed the night as our kids took turns passing out the candy!
(Notice Wyatt's straight, skinny mustache? He was very particular tonight that his Mustache (as he has become an conisour in that department) NOT be curly. A curly mustache is not one that Zorro ever wears!) Funny, Funny Child.
We did have the cutest little Down Syndrome boy (who was dressed as the very same Pirate as Walker) come by our house! He carried on an adorable little conversation with our kids. Later that night we talked to Walker about him, as Walker enjoyed his company very much. He didn't realize his disabilities. Walker was so solemn and concerned the rest of the night about this little boy. It was so great to see and be reminded of Walkers soft, mushy heart. He likes to protect it in a very hard enamel shell. I love the opportunities we have to teach our children about our Heavenly Fathers plan. And I am thankful for the perfect spirits he places in imperfect bodies to teach and empower us here on this earth. Walker is such a great 9 year old. We are blessed to have him in our home, and I am thankful for him and his genuine concern for those around him!
Tonights ending couldn't have been better. Happy Halloween!!
P.S. I am officially feeling bad about my Top 10!

Awesome costumes! You guys always are so creative. JaNae, your costume in an earlier post was the bomb! Remember when you took Jolyn and I around one Halloween...a cross country runner and a nun I believe? "Bless you child!"
I totally remember the awesome Halloween where you took Jon and I around! You had a great rich neighborhood right by you that we took great advantage of:) I actually was thinking about it last night and just started laughing when I thought about Jon saying "bless you child" when people would give us candy.
By the way you guys look great and we love the top 10! I think Dan and I would have been in there since we took Sadie trick or treating last night. Then we put her in bed and ate the hard earned candy!
Cute pictures JaNae!! It was so good to see you last night. I must admit that I'm glad that I could be one of the 400+ trick or treaters. It was nice to see your new house. It was so awesome!!
What a sweet experience you had with Walker and the other little boy. Thank you for sharing that. I had fun with you at the Trunk-or-Treat!
