Happy Halloween! We enjoyed taking the kids trick or treating this year. I have had classes on Halloween the last two years so it was great to finally be a part of it this year. The kids were so cute! Sarah was Cinderella and Nathan was Gus (the plump mouse friend of Cinderella's). Mary did some hard work to make Nathan look like Gus, sewing the shoes, hat and shirt and adding them to the mouse costume Sarah wore two years ago. It turned out great!
These first initial pictures on the street was on our way to the local Middle School for a kind of Halloween carnival. The kids had fun but a lot of the games were for a little bit older kids that required a little too much skill. Plus the candy wasn't that great so we cut out early and went to get candy the traditional way. We accidentally met up with three other families from church that were trick or treating together but were not really able to keep up with them as Nathan was the youngest of the bunch and was certainly slower. Overall, we had a great time and the kids were both just so cute. Nathan would get to the door and knock with Sarah and when the door would open he would just start walking right in, the people were always a little surprised. The other cute thing that Nathan would do was he kept trying to get the candy out of the bucket or take it from the person but he had on his mouse mittens and so he would inevitably drop it in spite of his valiant two-handed efforts. This was greatly disappointing for him, but luckily Mom kept a steady stream of Smarties coming his way. It's so much fun as a parent to see how enchanting and exciting these little experiences are for your kids while they also bring back so many memories for us as parents. No matter how hard we try, we can't soak enough of it in! SO MUCH FUN!!!
