Trick Or Treaters!

Is is just me, or do my kids crack you up, too?

This was the first time Henry wore his costume! He never even tried it on. He seemed afraid of it. I didn't think he would dress up to be honest. But let me tell you- when it was time to get ready he was all.about.it! He practiced his lines "tritter tree" and "tanku".

I really had no idea what to expect last night- would we only go to a few houses? would it get too cold? would Henry want to go home? would someone have to pee in the middle of it all?

But much to my surprise they stayed out until 7:40! They started out with so much enthusiasm, hitting every house with a porch light on.

Enthusiasm that quickly faded after it got dark and we were a couple streets from home.

Buckets nearly full and getting heavier with each house, they declared an end to trick or treat. I think Stella was the first to announce "I just want to go home!" They felt like they were miles from home as we started back. Buckets of candy suddenly felt like anchors impossible to carry. They were so dramatic! And then each time we passed an interestingly decorated house, I would hear, "OK, just one more house and that's IT!"



Once we got to our house, they thought they'd be real tricksters and trick-or-treat to Daddy! So cute.
