Trick Or Treat!!

The kids were pumped that it was finally Halloween!

Corey brought a pair of these glasses home that he got from work.

For the past three years that we have lived here we have never trick or treated in our own neighborhood b/c there was only Luca and Olivia and one other child, Luna, that lived in our neighborhood .  We had one other family move here this year that have four kids.  We got a mass email from a neighbor saying they would like to give out candy, then several other neighbors also said they would, too!  So we decided to go trick or treating in our own neighborhood.  We have maybe 20 houses in this community and most of them had candy for the kids (even though we were the ONLY trick or treaters) I think our neighbor Luna went to a couple of houses but we went to ALL the houses with their lights on.  Two neighbors even dressed up which I thought was so cute! They were so excited and said "In the 10 years we lived here we have NEVER had trick or treaters!" They were so happy they gave the kids a ton of candy.  Some neighbors weren't home and left candy in a bowl on their porch.  The kids loved it, although Luca said "Are we the only ones trick or treating?"

The houses are pretty far apart because there are still many lots available for sale.  Luca got tired and said "Can you just go trick or treating for me?"

The kids got to pick out their pumpkins (at the grocery store b/c they are half the price than at the pumpkin patch).  We also let them pick out which design they wanted carved.  This one is Luca's.

Olivia picked the witch design.  Corey is very good at carving pumpkins!

Yay!  They are done and they got LOTS of candy.  They also look like fat pirates because I had them wear 2 pairs of pants, a shirt, sweatshirt and their winter coats all under their costume because it was so COLD out!  They looked more like overweight pirates but they still were cute!  Happy Halloween!
