Trick-or-Treat

Another Halloween night has come and gone and its already November.  Holy moly. I have to say that our Trick-or-Treating tradition is quickly becoming one of my favorites.  The first year we moved into our new neighborhood we were invited to trick-or-treat with some friends who lived around the corner, and we've been doing it ever since.  This was our third year all together, and in my opinion three years running makes for a true tradition.  The first year we went Scott was the age that Owen and Katelyn are now, time flies.

This year Brian got in on the action with a little Clark Kent/Superman combo we put together.  Scott was so jazzed about it.  All day he was telling me that it was daddy's first halloween, I tried to explain that it wasn't, but Scott countered with the fact that this was Daddy's first time dressing up (at least as far as Scott can remember).  Owen went back and forth on whether to be Spiderman or the great white shark....in the end Spidey won out, when your big brother and your dad are superheroes there really is no other choice.

My super dudes on our way out the door to join the Howell's for dinner.



Lexi (Katelyn's cousin) trick-or-treated last year, but was only about 3 or 4 months old.  Next year there will be at least one more little one in the picture, Brooke, Katelyn's sister is about 2 months and not quite ready for the picture line up.

Lexi (1), Owen (2.5), Scott (4.5) and Katelyn (2.5)




Love these three besties

Erika and I joke when we take pictures that we will put them in the kids yearbook when they graduate high school, I really think this one will make the cut.  Katelyn and Owen, class of 2030. Oy!

Our little trick-or-treaters:

This year grandma even got to come down and join in on the fun.


Scott definitely has the hang of it by now and wanted to go and go.  This year we went to the most houses yet.  Scott wanted to fill his pumpkin to the top.  He was going great and running up to the doors all by himself until a big kid growled at him, it totally ruined his night and was a big topic of conversation the rest of the evening.  It proved to be a good learning experience, we discussed not letting it ruin his night and how he would never ever do that to a little kid when he gets older. 
It was a wonderful night that was capped off by much needed RAIN after we all went to bed.  Buckets and buckets of rain.

And then a full rainbow out of our front door in the morning.

Happy November everyone!
