Happy Halloween

Will's first Halloween. Boy, did he LOVE it. Aaron explained what happened on Halloween, and I just don't think he believed him. It was beyond his wildest dreams to knock on a door and get candy. Can it really get any better than that? You can't beat being Superman and getting candy from every house. He was so excited. Once he hit his first house and he discovered that Aaron was telling him the truth. He couldn't be stopped. As soon as he finished one house, he ran off to the next. Once there He quickly bellowed "Trick or Treat" followed immediately and equally as loud by "Thank You". He was delighted.

This year, Hope was an old hand at Trick or Treating. She showed Will the ropes and he ran with it. She was thrilled to get to be a puppy. She is wild about animals. Hope and Will wore their costumes all month. They loved dressing up. It was hard getting the costumes off!

Aaron and Robbi decided to re-visit Hogwarts again. They both went as Harry Potter characters. Robbi was really tickled. She made a tote bag in her sewing class, and she used to to collect candy. She loved it because it looked like a book bag she imagined would be used at Hogwarts. Aaron was thrilled because we found a Sorting Hat at a 1/2 price sale. He got every complex in his costume. He has two wands, a sorting hat, a cauldron for candy collecting, and a broom. I did notice most of his accessories stayed in the car once the serious trick or treating started.

Jacob was a wise Chinese man. He wore his Chinese costume he bought in China. He was thrilled to find a huge walking stick shaped like a snake. We spent a lot of time looking for a bald cap at the Halloween stores so his head matched his mask. They are getting particular on me. A few years ago, they wouldn't care if their hair matched their mask.

All 5 looked really good. They had a spectacular Halloween. Their only complaint was they needed to do more Trick or Treating. You can't have too much candy!
