TRICK OR TREAT 2013

We made it out for two trick or treat adventures this year.  The first, a couple weeks before Halloween at the Enchanted Trail, a nature trail set up with little-kid friendly characters to visit and get treats from along the way.  We had the company of our friends the Swanson's and a sunshiny morning, making for a good time for all.

first stop - Sylvester the cat

Jack the ghost = super scarey face

Cullen aka. Captain America = big muscles

waiting for the a cute little ghost and Pippi Longstocking to catch up

our next trick or treat adventure was on Halloween night of course!  Jack could hardly contain himself once I got home from work, boy needed to get out trick or treating NOW!  mix that excitement with an afternoon long school party that made for a very tired little boy who was coming also coming down from a sugar high.......let's just say we were all glad once we managed to head out trick or treating, lol!

we were spared the rain some not too far away from us had, and it was a pretty mild night, compared to some other years, so all in all a successful trick or treat for 2013. 

 

way too excited for pictures right now!

 

Stella is one brave little cookie.  This Dracula bat thing was pretty creepy looking.....Stella went right up to it and grabbed it to check it out a little closer.  She definitely doesn't get the braveness from her Momma :)  

It is so fun watching the excitement from these two, makes me think about how excited I would get as a kid.  And speaking of the nostalgia of remember my childhood......Jack ran inside after we got home, dumped out his bucket to assess the haul, and no kidding, had is candy organized like this (see below) in about a minute flat.  Funny how he can be slow sometimes, but yet so quick to do something he is excited and enthusiastic about.  This characteristic, for better or worse, I believe does come from me :)

More holidays are right around the corner, I can already feel the excitement,  I just love this time of year!!

Happy November friends!
