Trick or Treat

I love Halloween! Not the scary part...not haunted houses or the spooky stuff. But I LOVE seeing all the kids dressed up in their costumes. Transformers, fairy princesses, Harry Potter, and various storybook characters. My favorite part of Halloween when I was growing up was all the free candy...and all you had to do was say three little words, "Trick or Treat!"

To kick off our first Halloween, the boys went to a Halloween event at ScanSource (Daddy's work). They were a huge hit and everyone loved their costumes. But there was some serious competition! All of the kids were so cute and you could really see the pride in the parents' faces. We got to meet the president of ScanSource and his son was dressed as a hippie. We also met several of Daddy's co-workers and their beautiful kids. My friend Lisa was there with her twins Emma and Riley. It was so much fun!

Daddy and Thing 1 (Alex) and Thing 2 (Ben).

Alex really got into the "pick out a piece of candy" thing.

Ben decided he wanted some Whoppers.

They also had fun "spinning" in Daddy's chair.

Emma and Riley were happy to pose for a picture, but Alex and Ben weren't being very cooperative so we didn't get a picture of both sets of twins together. Oh well.....we tried!

Then we took our boys our for their first Trick or Treat at about 7 o'clock (after we got home). It was a lot of fun. We petered out about halfway through the neighborhood but they got a decent haul, nonetheless. Everyone was so sweet and was sure to give them "soft" candy. Our neighbors were so kind.

Here are some pics of Thing 1 and Thing 2 and their special escort.......The Cat in the Hat (thanks Ann-Marie!).
