"We're off to see the Wizard..."

Only we got rained out. Hasn't rained in something like a month and last night it decides the time is right. Thousands of children in Houston were disappointed last night because we all got tricked by a gigantic thunderstorm. We had a bit of warning of the storm but what are you supposed to do but hope for the best? So we persisted in getting ready at least to go show off to a few friends and neighbors. The storm rolled in just as I finished putting on my oh-so-comfortable green face paint which meant we were not about to let a little bit of rain stop us, not after I had gone through all that trouble. So we finished costuming up, watched a portion of the Wizard of Oz and then went and crashed on the Glaser family, hitting the candy jackpot in the process- they hadn't had any trick-or-treaters. After the rain let up a little, we went to a few houses stepping through puddles and running from the huge drops still falling of the old oak trees in our neighborhood. We had fun, didn't let a little storm rain on our parade. Check out the pictures below to see our trick-or-treat style.
