Candy, Please!

I have heard these two words countless times today! Claire couldn't wait to get her little hands on some candy. We first took her trick or treating in the mall. It was so crowded. We learned our lesson because next year we are going to have to get there much earlier! We waited in line to get a map and a free bag.

Waving at some kids in costumes.

We were so surprised that most of the stores were out of candy before we even started.

Had to get a family shot...

Are you laughing at my crazy picture?

We stopped to take a picture on the bridge.

Claire insisted on walking the whole way around the mall carrying her bag. Charlie kept periodically putting candy in her mouth. Don't worry, her teeth got a really good brushing tonight!

Anyone want to guess where this picture was taken? Mom needed to have fun too!

Claire slept a little on the way home, but it was already four o'clock so she didn't sleep long. We ate dinner and then went out in our neighborhood. I was curious how popular trick or treating would be here. We saw lots and lots of kids. We took Claire to just a few houses. She got pretty good at knocking on the doors and saying "trick or treat", "thank you", and "bye bye."

Some spooky houses :)

We really liked the decor on this house. They had the "Thriller" video playing on their garage. When we got home we sorted the candy into "Claire's" and "Mommy and Daddy's" bowls. I am noticing right now that our candy bowl is getting suspiciously low...I haven't even had one piece yet! Hope you had a happy Halloween!
