While they're previous costumes (peas in a pod, and hungry caterpillar) were totally awesome, this is the first year they seem to getting caught up in the excitement too. Hopefully I will be able to update this post with pictures and stories from trick-or-treating later tonight!
So its a Mad Dash to get home from work and get ready for trick-or-treating. Our friends Jon, Sheila, and Thomas joined us for trick-or-treating and so we felt we need to have the house presentable and snacks on hand. That coupled with making some finishing touches to costumes and Lucy spilling her milk, meant mamma needed a cocktail before we took off.
Trick-or-treating: Our friend Thomas was a champ saying his "trick-or-treat" on cue and nice "thankyous". Alex did pretty well, but the girls were feeling pretty shy. Trick-or-treats were barely audible when they were willing to say them at all. It didn't help that Sheila dressed as the "undead" version oft lherself with dead make-up and teased hair. Thanks alot sheila :) We walked to several houses and the neighbors who know us were very excited to see the crew. Eva got into the idea of putting candy in people's buckets but would take it a little far by putting her own candy into the big buckets people were trying to distribute from. Once we got home she enjoyed helping us distribute our own candy even though some of the costumes were quite scary!
Our neighborhood gets TONS of traffic so we saw a lot of costumes. I think the old-school power ranger was my favorite and I lament the lack of Harry Potters. Maybe we'll have to bring that back one of these years :)

Happy Halloween!
