Happy Halloween

So I sucked it up and took my kids Candy begging tonight. My friend Tracy and I decided to stuff them with semi-good food before giving them sugar overload. We had a fun BBQ and let the kids play for an hour before we headed out into the neighborhood. My sweet A.J. refused to wear the mask to his Power Ranger outfit AND insisted on wearing Spongebob shoes. But he was very happy, therefore so was I. Now, what to do with all this ill gotten candy gain...hmmmm...

Obi Wan, Jango Fett and Darth Vader (A.J. was trying to get out of the picture)
The Motley Crew: A.J., Ryan, Conner, Darby, Xander
A.J. was VERY excited to be on his first door to door trick-or-treating run, he didn't have time to talk to me and just about ran me over.
Xander was explaining to me his technique for getting more candy, "I just reach in the bowl and take what looks best". We need to work on the trick-or-treating etiquette!
Must...get...to...next...house! Need...more...SUGAR!

I love how you describe things. I am impressed that you let them eat a semi healthy meal. My kids had candy for dinner and soup for dessert. I did however steal all of the reces peanut butter cups. I am glad that you sucked it up ya trooper. The kids look darling by the way.

What fun. Don't you just love the greed we instill at our kids on all the holidays? :)

The kids look great! I'm glad they had so much fun. I enjoy Halloween, but I'm relieved it's all over. Too many parties and trunk-or-treat events before Halloween even got here!
