Halloween

For Halloween this year we brought the kids so they could trick-or-treat with their friends, Sophia and Zack. They did a great job, but Emma would stand in front of each home owner asking for more and more candy, and then when we got her away from the doorstep and explained that we were going to go to many more houses she got so excited! We repeated this at about every single house! I think by the end she got the hang of taking one candy and saying "Thank you." Matt spent the night trying to get the girls to get as many Reeses Pieces as he could. Siri spend most of the night holding her bag with one arm and holding a particular piece of candy in the other hand, then putting the candy back in the bag, and then realizing that she wanted it again, so she's stop, put her paper bag on the wet ground and dig around for her piece of candy. Yes, at the end of the night, on our walk home, the bag's bottom gave way. All the candy was put into Emma's bag, and the bottom broke out of that bag after we got home, about 10 feet from our front door. Needless to say, I've learned not to use paper bags for candy-collecting on a rainy Halloween!
But we all had fun, dressing up was great, though kind of a bummer that we didn't use those costumes that I slaved over longer!
