We had a little family gathering before heading out with the ghouls... It was a little crazy so I must say I was not good at capturing the moment... we had to stage the still shots a few days later! Our pack consisted of ring leader dinosaur Ethan, a little bumble bee Daphne (and when she got a hold of her cousins prop she turned into a "killer bee"), a handsome fireman Harrison, and a darling butterfly Emma. I think Ethan took more than his fair share of the candy...we are still working on manners...however, he was able to get away with this behavior due to his wittiness of taking just one at a time and numerous please and thank yous...
That left the grandparents and the rest of the aunts and uncles at the house to deal with the other packs of trick or treators...I must say Gramzie Ladybug definitely was better at distributing the candy than I was... I would hold out the basket in horror as the greedy tweens dug in without even a thank you, I am not sure they even said trick or treat... where ladybug asked them if they were from the area and handed them each a little handful... I must work on my technique a little for next year. Although it was fun to go trick-0r-treating with the kids this year as Daphne and I stayed in last year due to the rain. Other than the night being on the chilly side it was perfect for trick or treating!
I almost forgot to mention...at the after Halloween sales Ethan begged for a "super dupper" (a.k.a a super hero) costume for dress up... that is where spiderman comes in... He asks to wear this "outfit" daily!
