Trick or treating

We had such a blast with the girls last night trick or treating. We took them to a friends house to go with their little girl and b/c we live in a retirement community that was probably in bed by the time we went out. Or maybe it would be against the condo rules to trick or treat there. Anyway, the three of them were hysterical learning this anual tradition for the first time. After just one house i'm pretty sure they would have been fine to go home b/c they thought they had scored the loot. Imagine it like them, going to some stanger's house, saying the words trick or treat and they dump more candy then their parents have ever given them into their bag. With every house they got more and more excited and Ella would run up to me and say "Look how much I got". Lauryn would almost scare everyone with her enthusiastic "TRICK OR TREAT" as they opened the door, and Zaiah would turn and run if the owner if the house was dressed up. She was so cute b/c she didn't know what she was doing. She was just following the big girls and once Ella and Lauryn got their candy Zaiah would be happy enough and go to leave with them instead of trying to get her own candy. Once she caught on though she was having no part of actually putting the candy in her bag. She wanted it OPEN now!

It was so fun to re-live my childhood excitment through their experience especially now while they think just 3 candies are GREAT and they are not out for the pillowcase full. To lessen the sugar crash we all resorted to watching a little friday night Dora. Yes, its come to friday nights with Dora. But it's all worth it!

Today November 1st is All Saints day and my baby is 2. Wow, two years goes by so fast. We are so blessed!
