Sleepy Ghosts and Charlie Brown

Parker came over to trick or treat with us. We got off to a rocky start, but eventually we got the hang of it.




What a cute little sleepy ghost!



After fighting a kicking and writhing Wilson in the middle of the Costco floor to even try on a Halloween costume, I didn't really have high hopes for treat-or-treating. Wilson really surprised me though. He was very excited to go out and almost lasted as long as mom and dad did. It was really fun to go out and see all the neighborhood kids dressed up. It may be naive to think this, but our neighborhood just feels so safe and friendly. Bennett did well too, with the help of a little catnapping in the baby carrier. Halloween made an impression though, today Wilson wanted to take his play doh snakes out trick-or-treating! Now, how do you explain to a 2 year old that it only works one night a year?

I don't know how you explain the once a year thing to a two year old . . . if you figure it out though, let us know!
Ellie was the same ghost as Bennett!

How fun is that? Looks like you had a fun time. Lilly is the same. She wants to "ticker treats" too.
