Halloween is finally here! The kids put on their costumes once more.
Off we went! We headed downhill with the stroller and starting visiting houses. Our neighbors are all sooo nice. They gave out so much candy since our neighborhood is quite a hike to tromp around door to door. But the kiddos were troopers!
Well actually I was worried. This was Charlotte after the first house. Out of nowhere she says, "I just don't know about this" with that look on her face. I rolled down the hill laughing. RDHL. I like that. Better than ROFL. Ha!
But seriously the kids were totally amazing. After every single house, Charlotte would turn to us and say, "I GOT MORE CANDY!!!" It was a surprise every time. What a joy. And Tommy was so polite. Remembered to say 'thank you' and 'Happy Halloween!' Loved it. We had so much fun.
They brought home quite a haul. Look at all that candy. Because our neighborhood is so spread out, we only visited less than 20 houses. One house was one we didn't even know existed! There was another road that led out of one of the cul de sacs in the neighborhood and it went up another hill to 4 more castle sized houses. Crazy! The one house we visited in the secret side neighborhood gave out an entire bag of candy. Sweet!!
We normally like to hand out candy to trick or treaters because we don't usually get that many. But the kids wanted to get the full trick or treating experience so I just filled a bucket and put a sign on it. There was actually candy left in the bucket when we got back!! I couldn't believe it!!
Andrew was nice enough to take a picture of us after coming home. Sidenote: that Frankenstein mask was a dollar. Best costume ever! What a wonderful Halloween. My favorite holiday is now complete so we can officially start listening to Christmas music now. Although Christmas books are never out of season at our house.
Happy Halloween!
