So the kids went trick-or-treating last night… I’ll have to admit, I was quite disappointed in the variety of candy that they received… By the time we got home after 2 hours of trick-or-treating, the kids both had a bucket full of lollipops. ??? what’s up with all the lollipops?? What happened to good ole fashioned CHOCOLATE?? I mean, what are us parents supposed to steal from our kids now? a lollipop?  I don’t think so.

Sheeesh.

anyway, this year was the first year that both children got to pick their own costumes! and I’m glad that I let them, because what they chose was not what I expected at ALL! I thought that TJ would want to be some superhero, like spiderman, the hulk, batman, something along those lines.. but no, when we got to Party City, it took TJ 2 seconds before spotting the “Harry Potter” costume as he enthusiastically pointed and hollered “MA! MA! MA!”. Check out the glasses! We knew that TJ would not wear a pair of glasses walking around, so what’s a harry potter without glasses? This was my solution.

Angelina, I thought would want to be a princess, since that’s all she talked about the past month, “I wanna be Ariel the mermaid! I want to be Jasmine!”, but it took a little longer, her eyes gazing right past the ariel and jasmine costumes and finally spotting a cat costume and insisting that she HAD to be cat. She was very excited when she finally got to wear it (her black leotard and tights, with a tail sewn on).. actually insisting on wearing it to bed.

The kids were pretty funny during trick-or-treat. TJ was as quiet as a mouse (which is quite rare.. actually pretty nonexistent), completely enamored (go me! big word) by the whole process. Standing in shock at people’s doorways amazed that they were actually letting him HAVE candy! Angelina proclaimed after every home that we visited “How ’bout we go to another house!!” This happened after EVERY house.. even 2 hours into trick-or-treat. So all night long, “how ’bout we go to another (pronouced “anutter”) house?” nonstop.. it was really cute. At one point a woman answered her door and told us that they were unprepared with no candy. Angie shouted at her, “You go get some CANDY!” As rude as it was of her, I couldn’t help but find her statement to the woman amusing.

oh, and thank you! to those who left me tips on where to find a REAL pumpkin farm!
