The littlest pumpkin
Lion, Spider Man, and Ms. Dragon
This October 31st was in a lot of ways the most low key Halloween so far. We were not even sure if we were going to let the kids trick or treat for a couple different reasons. We didn't visit the pumpkin patch this year or carve any pumpkins. They really wanted to go so I decided to take Spider Man and Ms. Dragon just to a few houses on our street. Before we left it was raining cats and dogs! In the end Samara came too. She was at the door with her boots and really made it clear to us she was coming. We put on her rain suit and a Lion hat. I was going to put her in the umbrella stroller but since we were just doing a few houses on our street we all walked. A few houses turned into about 16 and we walked for just over an hour. The rain slowed down but we were definitely wet by the time we made it back to our house. We made one last stop at our neighbours so that they could see the kids all dressed up. He asked us "Are you done?" And I said "yes, we are all pretty wet" and he said "No, are you done having kids?"! I was quite surprised by this and not quite sure what to say.
Anyway we crossed the lawn to our house and sorted our candy. The kids were allowed one each which or course turned into 3 or 4.
I must say Samara did well for not being quite 2. She walked almost the entire way. We got one "ti ti" out of her which I am sure was "trick or treat." She doesn't say "thank you" yet but she said "Bye-bye" and waved to everyone once they gave her candy. I picked her up for the last 3 houses only because she no longer wanted to hold my hand. David was the first one to ask when we were going home (found out when he took his costume off that he was only wearing underwear underneath... good thing he had his warm jacket).
We got our usual 30 trick or treaters, despite the rain.
