Halloween

Holidays are so much more fun when you have kids!! This was Andrew's first time trick-or-treating and we had a blast. We took him to his school's Trunk-or-Treat to practice for the main event and once he got the hang of it and realized there was candy involved, he warmed up to all the freaky looking people. For those not in the USA, the people involved in a Trunk-or-Treat decorate the boot of their car and hand out candy to all the kids dressed up in their Halloween costumes.

On Friday we went Trick-or-Treating in the neighborhood with our neighbors Brian, Leslie and Gavin. Both boys were pooped by the end of the evening, even after loading up on candy!!

I'm embarrassed to admit that there was bribery involved in getting Andrew to wear the Elmo suit, but now that he knows what Halloween is all about, every time he sees Elmo he waves his arms and tries to say trick-or-treat and throws in a "pwease" for good measure. I have a feeling I won't have to bribe him next year!! LOL
