I almost thought we were going to have to get two Captain America costumes for Halloween!
But alas, no, she still wanted to be 'Rora when the time came.
The kids were SO ready. They LOVE candy so all they wanted to do all day was to go trick or treating. Look at little Miss Charlotte with her huge ball gown stuffed into her pumpkin carriage stroller. Too cute. Also, notice the crowns from her party came in handy tonight. She actually wore it! She rarely will wear anything on her head. But the crown was okay tonight for some reason.
Tommy walked almost the entire time (until it started raining). He loved going up and ringing the doorbell. He would ask at every single house, "Does this house have a dog?" Still terrified of dogs, they both are. Charlotte pet one dog tonight but Tommy wanted nothing to do with any of the dogs. Poor kiddo. But every house, even with a dog, was so worth it to get that candy.
At one house, as the lady opened the door, I said, "What do you say?" meaning say trick or treat. Tommy goes, "I like your house." She said, "Well, you'll be getting a lot of candy tonight." Haha!
Also, one more side story, Tommy really got into character. He was talking about how he defeated red skull in World War II. "That was a great battle, right?" Um, yeah, that was one BIG battle, Tommy.
Speaking of fears, Charlotte's greatest fear in her life right now is these two cats. There is a house in our neighborhood that has these two inflatable cats in their yard. Every time we drive by them, even during the day, Charlotte freaks out. She screams and covered her eyes. "I don't yike it! NO! No kiddy kats! NO!" Poor baby! So of course we took her there to trick or treat. But she did great. Didn't even see them due to being on the other side in the stroller. Phew!
We made it to so many houses. We only went to about 5 houses last year. This year it was probably over 10. They did so great, even in the rain. What troopers! They got so much candy. It was crazy. It was about 85% chocolate. Not good news for Tommy but good news for Tommy's teeth. We will just have to hide the rest. Or eat it. Darn.
After they had two pieces of candy, it was meltdown time.
Or dance time! They can feel the sugar pulsing through their veins!! Party time!!
It was an awesome Halloween. The kids did so great. Plus they got loads of candy. Halloween is the best! :)
