Carry Me Trick-Or-Treating
Saturday, October 31, 2009
Seth is still too young to get the concept of free candy. He thinks it is all too much work! Last year he made it through about 25 houses but wanted to be carried from porch to porch. This year, Seth had his choice of outfits. We have the incredible hulk, spiderman, batman, darth vader, a pirate, a cowboy and even a fireman. Gathering manly dress-ups has made this halloween season a snap! He kept changing his mind and at one point he said he was going to be a fisherman. No problem ~ we have everything we need, already. We put the finishing touches on Chloe's Dorthy costume and we just kept waiting and waiting for the time when we would actually have to dress up for Seth to make up his mind.
Mo Mo Man was a hit in the neighborhood! He loved wearing his helmet to all of the parties but the bike was pure genius from house to house. He would gladly ride it to the porch steps of every house, yell out "trick-or-treat" then race back to his motorcycle to Zoom down the driveway:
Chloe was still faster and probably will be for some time but they did take turns ringing the door bell. She would run ahead and stand there and wait and wait and wait. The weather was so nice and we visited as many neighbors as we could until we stopped and our friends Andrea & Jeff's house for an evening of dinner and games with a bunch of families. The kids played together downstairs and the adults, well we laughed the night away. I haven't played spoons forever! So much fun!!! But sadly, my kids couldn't keep their eyes open past 9 pm even with all the candy their hearts desired. Thanks again, Andrea!!!
