Trick or Treat

Well, here are our Halloween adventures...

This is the first year we've dressed up or gone trick or treating with the kids. Because our neighborhood isn't really kid friendly for this sort of thing, we weren't really sure where to go. Growing up, my family didn't trick or treat so I literally didn't have any idea of how this worked. A friend of mine was gracious enough to let us tag along in their neighborhood. 

Lilly absolutely refused to wear her ladybug costume even though she wore it previously for days and days. Josiah wore his but didn't quite get the concept of getting candy from other people's bucket and putting it into his. At one point he had candy hanging from his mouth and each of his hands because he didn't want to let any of it go. Lilly took the whole business of trick or treating very seriously. 

About 30 minutes in, Josiah got extremely fussy.... like screaming down the street. Granted, it was past their dinner time and he didn't have an afternoon nap, but we were disappointed to wrap things up so early, especially since my parents had driven down to visit and walk with us. Turns out, his toe was bent in his boot the whole time. We felt so bad for him. Once he got his shoes off and ate something he was perfect! 

We had a great rest of the night :) 

Here are a few quick snapshots from the night. None of the winners I was looking for, not even a whole family shot, but it was worth every second.
