trick or treat, round two

Rachel woke up this morning talking about it being trick or treating day.  She kept asking, "Is it 6 o'clock yet, Mommy?"


We all went together this year. 

Rebecca looked around in her car seat for the first 30 minutes or so, but then she started fussing.  It was past her bedtime and it was cold and windy (she was warm, but I was cold!).  We had already turned around and started heading for home because Rachel was tired, too, but I left and headed back home as fast as I could push the stroller into the wind in order to get a tired, cranky Rebecca into bed.  Rachel and Daddy finished trick or treating on the way home.

Rachel was so fun to watch.  She'd run up to each house, get her candy, and run back to us saying, "Did you see what I got, Mom?  I got CHOCOLATE!"  like it was a complete surprise and thrill.  And each house was just as exciting as the last. 



Now her care bear costume has entered her dress up bin, so I'm sure I'll be seeing a lot of Funshine Bear around the house for the next couple of weeks.

Brings back happy memories, Weed....I remember taking you and Jack "trick or treating", and guess what...? You too would come RUNNING back to the car saying, "Dad, we got MILKY WAYS!!!! (or whatever your favorite was at the time..)

So fun! You can pray we have as much fun/success on Sunday night. Kaden is counting down, so I know he'll love it. Not sure what Marin will think...well, I guess as long as she's in her tutu life *should* be good!
