Halloween

The big day finally arrived, and everyone got into costume (well, everyone but Mom and Dad ... of course). We did a small photo shoot in the yard before heading out to trick-or-treat. Its pretty challenging to get two kids and a dog, all in costume, to sit nicely together and take a picture :)




Ryan had a hard time in the role of a scary dragon, so he had to settle for cute dragon instead. It suited him perfectly.





Brooke, on the other hand, had no time filling the role of a princess.



It was finally time to trick-or-treat! Both kids started off at the house next door. Ryan couldnt keep his eyes off our neighbors costume, and couldnt figure out what was going on. Brooke tried to fill him in, but he wasnt interested. He spent the rest of the time in the stroller while his big sister hit about 40 houses ;)



At the end of the night, Brooke sifted through her loot. She was pretty excited. Her first choice was a black-and-orange sucker, but we told her to save it for tomorrow (it was almost 8PM and we didnt want to be up all night!). Her second choice was a Twix bar. She polished that off and asked for a second. We agreed, and she chose some black and orange candies that turned her mouth and face black. She then tried to "talk about it" and negotiate herself into a third piece of candy. We shut her down and put the sugar-loaded-princess to bed.
