Trick or Treat! Smell My Feet! Give Me Something Good to Eat!

Last night was Halloween and our kids had a blast!  It was nice because it was the first time we went trick-or-treating as a family.  We drove over to our new house and parked there and headed out into the neighborhood.  It was nice to meet some of our new neighbors and for Riley to see some of his friends from school.  K would walk up to the door with her brother and take a piece of candy in her hand and then go back to her Daddy and put her treat into her candy bag.  She'd scream when we left her in the wagon and didn't allow her to go up to the door!

When we approached one neighbor's door, they had a mechanical witch that made noise and stirred her cauldron...well that was enough to freak Kendall out!  She doesn't like anyone dressed up as large characters - she freaked over Curious George at the Halloween Haunt on Monday too!  After seeing the witch, she wouldn't get down at the door for at least a block and a half!  She warmed up to it again and had so much fun collecting candy!  She had no clue as to why people were giving her treats, but it was fun.

Riley on the other hand has turned into his Dad when it comes to trick-or-treating...He was in such a hurry because he was afraid that the neighbors would run out of candy!  We couldn't keep up fast enough.  It's no wonder he wanted to hit as many houses as possible...some of our neighbors were giving out full sized candy bars and the rest were giving out 2-3 pieces at a time...We're going to be broke keeping up with everyone next year!
