Trick-or-Treat

Our little cowgirls got ready for their night of grabbing lots of candy. (Abby was supposed to be wearing her cowgirl boots, but when it was time to leave, we discovered she had outgrown them since we bought them last spring. Nothing like waiting til the last minute). I don't know who in the government got the bright idea to move daylight savings time back a week, but it really messed up trick-or-treating. Since it's a school night, we got to start long before it got dark outside. We saw a lot of other families out doing the same thing. All in all, it worked out well because its much easier to see everyone.

If you look closely at this door, you will see a guy dressed up as a Christmas tree. I've seen him do this before... he has the attached extension cord to go with it. He really knows how to get into the Holiday spirit!

And finally, you can see the collection of cavities... I mean candy... that the girls brought in. The neighbors all seem so generous. No longer is it just one piece of candy, apparently. One neighbor was giving out giant sized chocolate bars (word traveled fast because there was a constant stream of kids at his door). Another neighbor invited our girls inside to make caramel apples dipped in 6 different toppings. Both girls had a lot of fun (as you would expect), but they got so many complements on their good manners that they used. They did a wonderful job of being polite and telling everyone 'thank you' and 'Happy Halloween'.



P.S. I dug up the following picture from last Halloween.... Emma still plays dress-up with that pumpkin outfit from time to time.
