Trick-or-Treat 2010






We had a fun night trick-or-treating with the kids this year. There were just a hand full of houses that participated and since we live on the side of a hill, it was probably for the best! Owen had a hard time getting around in his costume and we wanted to get back to pass out candy too, so we were only out for about an hour.

Ben was adorable! He would go to the doors and knock and would say, "Knock Knock, hello." He would hold on tight to a candy bar and then switch it at the next house for another one. This meant he didn't come home with a ton of candy, which was a good thing!

Owen was a hit in his homemade costume. Kids and neighbors loved it! He had his picture taken at many of the houses we went to. Poor guy though was not down with the head piece and the shoe covers made it a little hard for him to walk, so when we took those off and just put on the head piece when we got to a house, he was a much better sport. (I'm thinking we could have spray painted a cheap pair of shoes and that would have worked better.) Regardless, he seemed to love his costume and has already planned what he wants to be next year... a nail and Ben is to be a hammer. Ha!

Owen is already asking me how many weeks until Halloween. 52 my friend, 52!

Sounds like Owen loves Halloween as much as Lily. She keeps asking to go trick or treating again! Cute costumes!
