The Big Night

After hours of absolute certainty that it was time to Trick or Treat...it was in fact...time to Trick of Treat. Costumes on...candy sacks at the ready...parental beverages poured, shaken, and stirred...we were off! This being the first year of actual door to door, bell ringing, candy grabbing Trick or Treating...the kids were a little unsure of the process. By the end of the night...we were a well oiled machine. Trick or Treat - Grab Candy - Say Thank You - Run to the next house. Bryce was even to the point where just getting candy wasn't enough...he went so far as to reject some Peanut M&M's (much to my dismay) and bargain for a pack of regulars. What a country...Halloween negotiations. One Kit Kat (or Kitty Kat as Ivy calls them), a Peanut Butter Cup, and a Tootsie Pop later...everyone is asleep (we think). What a great weekend...if only there were other holidays during the year that lasted a couple of days, where there was good food, and prizes...I think I'll be ready for one 'round December time if anyone can think of one. Happy Halloween!
