Trick or Treat!

Halloween was on a Monday this year, so I raced home from work and Mamaw met us at home with the kids. We wrestled them into their costumes...Katelyn cried, not sure why. Brendan (after some convincing that he couldn't get candy/go trick or treating without a costume) only put up minimal fight.

For those you that really know Brendan, you know that it's a small miracle to see him in a costume AND smiling for a picture!   This was the best picture we got of them together - Katelyn's pointing at an airplane that flew over.

Thomas the Tank Engine...what else would he be?!

Our neighbor was so sweet to take a family picture when we trick or treated at their house.

Towards the end of Trick or Treating...when do we get to open these?!

So cute!

Finally getting to eat some candy!

The sweet tarts were a huge hit...Brendan actually clutched 3 or 4 in one hand for half of the time we were out Trick or Treating.  He didn't want them to get lost in him pumpkin. 

Reading an Easter book in my Halloween jammies...whatever works, right?!  The book is Peter Cottontail and is one of their current favorites...we read it at least once every night it seems.

They might have enjoyed watching for and opening the door for other Trick or Treater's more than actually trick or treating themselves.  At one point, we sat outside on the driveway and watched for other kids.  :)
