Trick or Treat

(Blogger is being crazy and I can't put this where I want)  This is some of T's candy from Halloween.  When given a choice, he always chooses blue!
We had another blustery Halloween, and it rained a cold rain up until it just about time for us to go out trick or treating.  We were worried that we were going to have another wash out like last year. Thankfully, the rain stopped and we were able to enjoy a fun night of candy collecting with K & T.  I think they understood the concept of trick or treating a bit more this year, but seemed more excited to get to wear their "dress ups" outside.  K decided a few weeks ago that she wanted to be Tinkerbell, and T loves anything pirate, so he was very content as well.  K originally wanted to be Elsa, but T wouldn't agree to be Olaf, so we nixed it.  The weather was very chilly Halloween night, so we ended up having to dress the kids in layers, complete with coats and gloves. But they didn't seem to mind one bit.
Tinkerbell and a rowdy pirate, giving his best pirate face, are all ready for an evening of fun!
Tink in all of her glory.  The cold weather prevented her from wearing her cute Tinkerbell shoes and tights, but she's rocking the green nail polish! 
This pirate is ready to go! Arrrrrrr!
First stop...
Nana's!  She is always happy to see us, and had special Australian lollies for K & T.
Back at our house, we bundled up and got ready to tackle our neighborhood.
Auntie Emma came over to pass out candy so that Andy & I could both go trick or treating with the kids.  That was so nice of her! 
K is all smiles!
K wanted to walk up without us, she also remembered to say trick or treat, and T would say the thank you. Sometimes they threw in a Happy Halloween.  They were adorable! 
If given a choice of candy, K would actually think about what she wanted, while T just grabbed at whatever wrapper was blue.  That's his favorite color right now.
They figured out the trick or treat run that most kids have.  Run to the door, ring it, say trick or treat and thank you in almost one breath, get candy and run to the next hourse.
Our neighborhood looked so cute all decorated in orange.
More running
This guy ran to me each time and grabbed my hand as we trotted along.  He got a little nervous at a few of the kids' costumes, but his sweet tooth kept him plugging along.
A quick mid neighborhood picture.

Em & T trying to decide what to have. Bet T's will be blue!
K enjoying a couple of treats before bed.  She loves M & Ms.
Just some of their haul.  At the rate we let them eat candy, they will still have some at Easter.  We are already hoping that next year will be warm and balmy!
