Trick or Treat

For Halloween Mom and I took Chloe and Drew trick or treating. Chloe was a princess; (the child that never wants to go to sleep and awakens at the drop of a hat was none other than Sleeping Beauty). Drew had a cute little tiger costume that he flat refused to wear. I told him that if he didn't put it on he wouldn't get any candy, but he promptly and forcefully told me "Me no wear, STILL get candy!!!" I decide it just wasn't worth the fight, so he went wearing a Blues Clues tee-shirt and blue jeans. First we went for pizza (fill 'em up before they have access to the candy). Chloe loves pizza and ate two pieces, but Drew obviously wasn't in the mood; he picked all the pepperoni off about half of the pizza and didn't touch a bite of cheese or crust. Finally we started going from house to house. They had so much fun. At the first house a very nice lady was dressed as a witch with scary make-up and fangs, but they didn't even notice; they were firmly focused on the bags of candy that she was holding out. The next couple of house had open bowls of candy and they were told to take what they want. (I had mediate how much they actually took). It was a really fun afternoon; the kids had so much fun. I was really proud of how they remembered to say please and thank-you. When it was all over Chloe asked if we could go again tomorrow.
