Maya, dressed as Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean, went trick-or-treating with Luke (AKA Harry Potter) and Annabelle (AKA Hermione) this year. They had a lot of fun together and thought it was extra exciting that Maya got to be in charge for part of the time and they could go without an adult.
Keeping with the pirate theme, Maya carved a pirate pumpkin with an eye patch and I decided to go for a spooky looking Jack-o-lantern. Maya chose the largest pumpkin she could find - this guy is about the size of a large beach ball. We were a little unorganized for Halloween this year so Josh didn't manage to get his pumpkin carved.
My favourites are the 4 little pumpkins that Maya drew faces on and named after her 4 favourite characters from the Books of Bayern series that she is reading.
Later in the evening we went to trick-or-treat at Mum's house and were surprised to run into Batman there. Really, not every day I see my Dad dressed up!
We also ran into Kate and a couple of Maya's friends so Maya went out with them for about another hour. She got in a lot of candy collecting time this year! The funny thing is she doesn't like a lot of the candy and she wants to be healthier so she's only eaten a very small amount of her stash. And - believe it or not - I haven't eaten any of her candy either!

Cute kids, and I'm so proud of Dad!
That looks like a lot of fun. Good job to Maya for not eating much of her candy. That is so fun that Grandpa dressed up. I wish that I could have seen it in person.
I love her costume! The pumpkin picture didn't load so I'll have to come back to check that later.
