After the parade we hooked up with some friends and decided to just start walking toward the houses to trick-or-treat. It was still early but there were already some sprinkles coming down and it was getting really cold and windy! We decided to start early to we could try to get home early!
Maxwell knew exactly what was going on and couldn’t wait to hit up the first house! Spencer was pretty clueless so I helped him along a bit…
He figured out the game pretty quickly and perfected his own version of “titateat!”
Maxwell was a good big brother and had no problem taking Spencer up to houses by themselves…
But, if there was a dog outside the house, Maxwell would quickly say “we’ll just skip that one!” 🙂
Some of the friends we were with had built this Thomas the Train over their wagon and all the kids (and parents!) thought it was the neatest thing ever!
Spencer just about burst when he actually got to ride in it for a bit!
Maxwell was continuing on his “serious” streak and couldn’t really be bothered for pictures…
or to keep up with the group! 🙂
In his defense, it was a big, slow-moving group all with kids younger than him except for one. It’s tough to be the oldest sometimes! 🙂 He did fine though and loved getting lots of candy and seeing all the cool decorations.
Spencer was doing so good putting all of his candy in his basket. He kept bringing me a Blow Pop to open and I would tell him that we weren’t going to eat the candy now and he needed to put it in his basket. After about the 4th time he asked, I finally gave in to my cute little Mickey and let him have the Blow Pop. He was so happy he even sat in the stroller for a little while!
By this point, it was starting to get really cold and windy. Just as we were turning down the last street to make the loop back to home, Spencer was walking on the curb and totally bit it scraping his little hand and biting his tongue. We unfortunately had our first (and thankfully only!) tears of the night. So pitiful.
After some hugs from Dad, a new sucker and his Mickey sweatshirt to warm up, he was back in business.
On the home stretch, we ran into 2 of Maxwell’s buds – Ben and James. That made my little construction worker pretty happy!
It was honestly freezing and really windy by that point so we were more than happy to get home by 6:00, warm up and inspect all of our candy! Which, let me just say, all that candy and not one single Butterfinger. Humph. Oh well, it was still a really fun night, Butterfinger or not! 🙂
Happy Halloween!
What a great place to treat or trick! Would call this night a success – well except for the Butterfinger!
Glad the night was full of treats!
Maxwell got more requests for work orders than candy.
