Halloween - 2011

Batman and Belle took to the streets Monday night in hopes of accumulating large quantities of candy. They succeeded in their task, but were reluctantly forced to fork over a 30% (or greater) candy tax to both Mom and Dad.

They first visited with Nana, Papaw, Uncle Tony, Aunt Andrea, and Cousin Baby Tyler (dressed as a golfer) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Collectively, they visited each of Nana's friends/co-workers before heading home to 'trick or treat' throughout the neighborhood with the Bork's (Hunter (the Firefighter) and Tyler (the Lion)).

After arriving home, both Ella and Coltyn emptied their bags on the kitchen floor to assess their stash. The heaping mounds of candy proved they left no house unturned. The toughest decision was where to start consumption. Coltyn, as predicted, headed straight for the "Nerds". He proceeded with emptying two boxes of Nerds directly on the kitchen floor, and then methodically shoveled each kernel into his mouth until all that was left was a sticky smudge on Mom's hardwood floors. Mom/Dad, clearly distracted by the ensuing mess on the floor, were unable to monitor an unattended Ella, who had managed to shovel an unknown quantity of candy into her mouth before Mom/Dad intervened. Arguably, the best part of Halloween.
