Happy Halloween!

Halloween was a hit once again with the Watsons!  Tom and I hosted our annual "Ghostly Gala" and were happy to add a few new decorations and costumes to our collection.  Whitley attended some fun events, herself, including a Halloween party with her Daisy troop and a character parade at her school.  Of course, we headed to the Davis household on the actual All Hallow's Eve for trick-or-treating with the boys, Stacy, George, CC and Day Day.  The cousins went with coordinating outfits this year as they kept Gotham (and Weycroft) safe from harm.  It was a beautiful night, and the kids were so excited as they RACED from house to house.  I was quite impressed with Whitley's ability to keep up with Drew; every other year she's lagged behind as I've helped her up the stairs and urged her along.  Then I realized- she wasn't a princess this year!!  Hard to keep up with two running boys in an over-sized gown.  :)  Catwoman makes for easier maneuvering, for sure.  All three kiddos filled their bags with candy and Trick-or-Treated for exactly one hour.  Then, they collectively asked to head on home.  It was so funny- they'd had enough!  (They had been running pretty hard, and the bags were heavy.)  I think the boys headed out again later, but Whitley immediately donned her pajamas and settled down for some supper.  Still, we can't wait until next year!
We had a Robin Hood/Maid Marian thing going on.  
Most people called me "princess" all night, though, which was fine by me.  :)

Put them on a movie poster- they are serious about their roles!
I tried to fit in with some batty face-paint.  :)
