Trick or Treat!

This is the first year that the boys have really known what's going on at Halloween. Noah has been asking for days "Is today Halloween?" When I could finally answer yes he replied with squeals of joy.

After supper we asked the boys if they were ready to going trick or treating and Noah said we had to wait til "Halloween night" . We told him it was, but he said "No it has to be dark outside." Luckily we didn't have to wait too long before it got dark outside. So we headed out. We went to the neighbors that we know, and thought that would probablly be it, but I guess the boys caught on to benefits of going to more houses because they said, "just one more house." So we went to a few more, I was surprised at Noah, he actually yelled "trick or treat" at the door. Luke had a little more perserverance than Noah so I took him all the way around the bay, but didn't stop at every house.

Here is our little duck heading out the door.
Yes it might look like a chicken, but Noah said he was a duck.

Here's the duck's brother, the monkey.

So we have a bit of candy now, they did have a some yesterday, lollipops are their favorites, and I still need to find a spot to put away the rest. But it wasn't a crazy amount. It was fun going to the houses and everyone got a kick out of their cute costumes, especially because it's mostly seniors on our bay. So I think our first trick or treating outing was a success and the boys had a lot of fun.
