We had a chilly night, but that didn't stop us from heading out to collect our loot! If you have not seen our last two posts, here's the low down on costumes: Christina was a beautiful butterfly, Dominic was a mischievous monkey & Ethan a pleasantly perfect pumpkin! What a fun time!
Christina and Dominic were ready to go shortly after getting up this morning. Someone remind me next year not to mention that it's Halloween until about 5 minutes before we get ready to go. It was a long day for them waiting for 5:30 to come! They did pass the time by asking me how soon it would be until they could go trick or treating. Bryan walked in the door and changed his shoes, however he didn't make it far enough in to even take off his tie.
Laying on the couch this morning, giddy with excitment of what was to come later on today!So out we went.
Christina was into Halloween last year. Dominic enjoyed it, but tonight was different for both of them. Their excitement tonight seemed to feed off each other. Dominic must have tripped about 5 times trying to get out of the wagon faster than Christina. If I would have posted all of our pictures you'd see a theme, Dominic heading back to the wagon as Christina is still making her way up to the house. Here's one of what many of them look like:
Ethan was very happy hanging out in the stroller. He did get his fair share of candy, even after we told people he didn't need it. At one house they even let him pick out his own candy. He decided on a roll of smarties and a tiny tub of play-doh.
Christina was also pretty excited at one house. She got to get a bag of Fritos and proudly showed them off for the camera. Since when do people hand out Fritos for Halloween? These are the same people that also offered her a juice box. You might be thinking maybe they weren't expecting trick or treaters, but they were! They actually had 4 families partying in their yard with baskets of candy and what not that were handing out! So my girl brought home the Fritos!
Dominic had to check his bucket after almost every house. Making sure that they really put the candy in there and then to tell us what he got. Here's the monkey checking things out:
We were only out about 45 minutes but the kids had a blast! We barely got in the door and the buckets were dumped on the table. Obviously by the photos below, they had a great night!

And in true Christina fashion, she liked, ALL OF IT!Hope everyone had a wonderful night trick or treating. Truly a fun, cold evening.
Can't wait for next year!
