Day 4.294: Three orphans (and their dad)

The kids dressed up as Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire to go trick-or-treating this evening.  The costumes were painstakingly assembled and constructed by Exile #2 over the last several weeks with only a few decent pictures to work with.  She recently completed reading the series of books to them as their bedtime stories - a total of 13 books, each with 13 chapters and full of extremely funny tragedy - perfect as a Halloween theme!

I went out with them and for the first time in several years, we had a reasonable evening (albeit a little cold) and the kids were up to a longer walk around the neighborhood.  Everyone who answered the door was happy to see them and to part with their candy, delighted by their costumes - and, for the most part, completely baffled by their explanations of who they were.
