Trick or Treating - Rain or Shine

Almost time . . .




Katie and Caroline's classmates Emerson and Archer came to join us Trick or Treating.  You couldn't have asked for a better duo since Emerson was Mickey Mouse!


Ready to go, ready to go!


The weather had been perfect all day, right up until six o'clock. The four kids bundled up, umbrellas in hand and off we went . . .


. . . to our first house!



And sadly that was our last house with Emerson and Archer.  It started raining even harder and since the girls didn't know what they were missing we decided to let them just play inside.


About 15 minutes after our guests left and 10 minutes after Sissy was put to bed, David starts yelling, "the rain stopped, the rain stopped, here's her chance."  Thankfully Katie was still in costume, I picked her up and we raced out the door.

At our second "first" house trick or treating. 



As we came down the driveway, Katie looked at me and goes "another house mommy? Which one has candy?"  I knelt down and said "Katie, tonight is Halloween, they ALL have candy."  She took my hand with the biggest smile and kept saying "another house mommy, another house" after each one.  Well . . . until we hit about 15 houses, after that she just wanted to sit on her front step and eat what she collected - happy as could be!

Going back out with Daddy


Enjoying her loot!


Upon picking up Katie from school the next day she asked excitedly if we were going trick or treating that evening.  No doubt there, after the second "first" house she's hooked and will completly understand what she's missing going forward!!!!!
