10/31 Trick-or-treating

Halloween always seems to involve some tears for Carter. I think the stress and excitement of it is just a bit too much for the poor kid and it always results in a meltdown right about the time they are supposed to leave for trick-or-treating. After we sit quietly for about 10 minutes, while Daddy takes Raine out, he is able to pull himself together enough to get out there to collect some candy. Good thing the threat of wet weather kept many people away, so he could calm down without interruption. I think our doorbell only rang a couple times all evening.
