Trick-or-treat! Here’s your treat . . . I’m finally posting pictures of Halloween on the blog! :)
This was our first Halloween in our new house, and while we’ve trick-or-treated in our sub for the last two years with Jeff and Lori, this year we were able to give instead of just receive. We weren’t sure how many kids to expect though. We got a fairly large amount and gave out about 5 pounds of candy or so (unfortunately we got just as much back!). I think because it got cold and windy that people didn’t stay out as long.
We started out by trick-or-treating down the street to meet up with Jeff and Lori, and Matea quickly discovered that she liked this trick-or-treating thing. And I quickly discovered that lugging around a baby is the “trick” part of trick-or-treat. It’s not much fun. Matea couldn’t walk fast enough to keep up with the older kids though, so I carried her around for a bit, then stuck her in the wagon with a piece of candy to chew on while she watched the kids run around. At that point (about half an hour in) the wind really picked up and it started to get cold. So when we went past our house again Matea was deposited at the door (a trick or a treat, I’m not sure) and we continued on. Grandma Amanda and Grandpa Terry, visiting to celebrate birthdays, stayed with Matea to hand out candy, which was very much appreciated!
After just one trip up and then back down the next street over Eli was finished. He said that he had enough candy (his bucket was full quickly with the handfuls of goodies he was getting at each stop) and, while he was warm in his outfit, Jon and I were cold! Jeff and Lori continued on a bit longer but we headed inside to paw through our loot (which I didn’t get a picture of this year for some reason). Then we headed over to Jeff and Lori’s for homemade marshmallows and hot chocolate. Nummy nummy! Our first Halloween in our new house was definitely a treat!
Why am I in the wagon again? What’s going on?
Posing with Koorny the scarecrow, Sleeping Beauty, FiFi the pink Poodle, Venom (not black Spiderman, don’t make that mistake), a dragon, and a Ninja. What a crazy family.
Candy grants the dragon the ability to fly off porches!
Waiting politely for candy(see Matea’s head?)
And taking a bite of it immediately.
Mom says she’s tired so I’ll just sit here and eat candy.
Still going strong and RUNNING between the houses (just watching made me tired).
