Trick or Treat

We had the most excellent Halloween!

Anthony started off with a pre-breakfast snack of candycorn that he found in his goody-bag from daycare yesterday. (Mommy and Daddy were pretending to sleep and he was keeping himself occupied in our room.)

Lunchtime one of our neighbor's hosted a Halloween party for our block. There are THIRTY kids on our block alone. Twenty boys and ten girls, how's that for balance?? (Not everyone made it to the party but it was quite a crowd.) Anthony had a lot of fun eating the playdough!

After nap Ciaran came over for playtime before trick-or-treat. He stayed for dinner and Robert and his family joined us as well. Then we all went trick-or-treating together. Robert was a fireman (he soundly rejected his lion costume), Claire was an Astronaut and Ciaran was a pumpkin. Anthony, of course, was the scarecrow again. He enjoyed wearing his costume and even wore his hat!

Anthony caught on to trick-or-treat FAST. He walked right up to the door, said "trick treat" and was happy to help himself to candy out of the bowl. He knew EXACTLY what that stuff was. It was a challenge to keep it in the bag the whole night. He was so much fun!
