Superheroes

Unlike last year,

I thought ahead this year

and planned for the get-up, the sweets, the route. 

It took a little convincing for the middle man to don the muscles

but once he saw his fellow superheroes, 

all was right again.

We stopped over at the grandparents

made the rounds to their neighbors,

just enough to get some sufficient "awww"ing,

filled the pumpkins at some friends',

and back again for our own neighborhood trek.

And then home again 

for some serious teeth brushing.

Exactly how every successful Halloween ends.
