This is the first year that the boys have been talking non-stop about Halloween and counting down the days! They came home about a month ago requesting to be Transformers. They had no clue who they were...they just knew they were cool and everyone was going as them. To make things simple for me, I ordered them Transformer costumes (mortal enemy costumes at that). Connor went as Bumblebee and Brady went as Megatron. To give them some idea of what the Transformers are, I also got them their first Transformer toy.
Halloween finally arrived! The boys spent a quiet day at home before heading out to Mimi's and Papa's for the first round of trick-or-treating. We visited a few houses in their neighborhood while visiting with their cousins, D & E. We then stayed for our annual Halloween dinner before heading to Grandma Darla's and Papa's. We visited a few houses in their neighborhood and then decided we were done for the night. We stayed at Grandma's for a visit and desserts. As if we needed Brownies after loading up the bags with candy!
Considering the fact that the boys only went to about 10-12 houses, they ended up with a 1/2 a bag each. They were still a little shy this year about saying trick-or-treat until they got to my parents neighborhood. By then, Brady was saying "trick or treat, give me something good to eat" and Connor was in story-telling mode. He would say "Guess what or I have something to tell you" and if they entertained his question, he would proceed to tell them all about the train we saw on the way over and why trains don't have cabooses anymore. Yet again, we skipped our neighborhood and we missed all the trick-or-treaters. Guess that means more candy for us!
Happy Halloween to all our friends and family!
