Trick or Treat

Halloween was a blast, even more fun than last year. I think that as the kids get a bit older, they realize what it really means to go trick or treating and just have a ball. No meltdowns, no fighting, and even sick Ryan was in a great mood! He still had a temp, but after some Motrin, he was great. We "treated" in Granny and Papa's neighborhood for a little bit, then moved over to Heidi's hood. (they are only the next street over) They are two small neighborhoods that are really, really close to our house, so this is where we usually go. Plus, we know many of the kids that live in these hoods. A lot of them go to school with Amaya and Jake.
So, Amaya and Jake were running house to house, and Ryan could NOT stay in the wagon. He just had to get out, run to the door and scream trick or treat too. They he would follow with whatever the big kids said, whether it was Happy Halloween, or Thank you. The funny thing was, he wouldn't say it once, he would repeat it over and over and over...thank you, thank you , thank you, all the way down the street. It was so cute.

It was such a great time, we can't wait to see what next year brings for our little trick or treaters.

Costumes:Amaya was an English horse rider (not to be mistaken for a Western horse rider)

Jake was Anakin Skywalker, when he was younger. He has had his hair cut like Anakin all summer anticipating this costume.

Ryan was a little devil. This was Jake's costume at the same age. I thought it appropriate for both of them because they both have this persona about them. Kind of like a little devil. They are both little characters with a lot of spunk in them. They are hilarious.
