Trick Or Treat

We had our third annual Halloween with the Cresswells and this year Grace and Jordan were both Cinderella. Apparently Cinderella was a *very* popular costume choice for the 3-4 year old girl set. Grandma did some work on Grace's hair when she got here and managed to use a ring from the stacking toy to make a princess bun. Grace was very happy with her Princess Hair. This year their little brothers wore the same costumes they wore two years ago! Ethan donned Grace's pumpkin costume and made it his own. I don't think I've seen a cuter pumpkin then Ethan. Bennet was a super cute lion.

After a much interrupted homemade pizza dinner we piled the boys in the red wagon and the girls were off and running in their plastic glass slippers and clip clopped their way down the sidewalk. Jordan's shoes flashed blue which was ultra-cool but only lasted about 6 houses before she traded them for the much easier to walk in tennis shoes. Grace refused to take her glass slippers off ALL DAY LONG and thus developed a blister on each of her big toes. She's a total slave to fashion.

The girls were totally cute remembering to say trick-or-treat and then "Thank you!" and "Happy Halloween!" but their creative additions were the best. After a particularly good candy haul Grace made sure to call out "We'll see you next year!" which had us in stitches!

Once we got back to the house the girls dumped their candy out on the floor and inspected their loot. I raided Grace's candy and confiscated all the bubble gum and jawbreakers which I deemed inappropriate and noticed she lucked out and got a package of HoHos. Yum! We talked the girls into eating a chocolate cupcake before jumping into the candy and while they ate chocolate frosting the boys took their opportunity to inspect the candy as well. Grace's favorite candy is Smarties, she still hasn't eaten any of her chocolate candies which may not be smart. David and I are both eyeballing her stash!
