October 31

It was definitely a different kind of Halloween --which is no surprise since a) we moved this year and b) COVID-- but it was fun nonetheless.

We carved pumpkins, had dinner, and then got ready for the evening's festivities. And of course, there were photos to commemorate the day, featuring the Scarlet Witch (also known as Wanda) from the Marvel Universe, Pluto, and Goofy. (And me with sequined Minnie Mouse ears and Adam as Pietro, who is Wanda's brother. And Lambie as Lambie, of course.) 

Anyway, rather than trick-or-treating, we pulled out our lawn chairs, put out tables of candy bars and treat bags, and convened in the cul de sac just down from our house for a neighborhood viewing of ET. 

We were all sitting social distance-style, but I loved the sense of community. This is truly a great place to live, and I'm so thankful that we landed here.
