Trick or Treat! (or WEE-WEE in Ethan speak)

The big night has finally arrived! Trick or Treat! Joe took both kids out to fill their bags with candy, and Olivia pooped out before Ethan did! Plus, both kids had thought that they had gone to heaven when we dumped their candy bags on the floor and told them to dig in for as much as they wanted. Surprisingly, neither of them seemed to go overboard with the candy.

Here are the kids pre-Trick or Treat. Ethan would not leave the sock monkey hat on his head at all before they left, so I had to take this picture very fast before he snatched the hat off.


Our beautiful Belle. This Halloween was wonderful for the kids - no coats or hats or anything. The weather was absolutely perfect!

Ethan returned home from trick or treating with the hat firmly on his head. Joe said that after the first house Ethan forgot about the hat and focused on the candy. It only took him an entire month of wearing the costume before he decides that the hat is acceptable.

We attended a neighborhood Halloween party after the trick or treating. Here is Olivia with her new friend Ainsley after competing in the mummy contest. Olivia did this all on her own and I think that she did a pretty good job!

Olivia concentrating hard in the "eyeball on a spoon race".

Maybe a costume for next year....

Finally, the whole Sock Monkey effect! First time that I actually saw him in the hat. I love in that first photo that you can see his hand coming up to snatch the hat off -- but you were too quick! Good capture. They both look great and the party looks like it was fun for all of the kids. Except maybe the poor mummified child.
