Although we struggled a bit as a family, we had a nice Halloween that we’ll remember as a fun time.

Jimmy certainly had a great time. He participated in two parades: his preschool’s Halloween Parade on Thursday and the Newtown Halloween Parade on Saturday. He also got to watch the Goodnoe School Halloween Parade on Friday, as he did last year.

Peter and Kathleen have had a tough time for the last few days. They’ve both had the flu, and Peter was still somewhat under the weather on Halloween. In spite of that, they ended up having a good time.

It seems like everybody in the Philadelphia area is rooting for the Phillies, so this Halloween will probably go down in history for a home loss to the Yankees. But that wasn’t as big a part of our night as it was for some people in our neighborhood.
