Trick or Treat!

Harry Potter & Minnie coming away from one of the houses, very happy! It was a lot of fun Trick-or-Treating with these kids this year, because they were really into it, and sooo excited!

Our first stop was next door, at the Landlord's. They love to see our kids all dressed up. They always have to get their picture taken, and walk away with yummy sugar-free treats. Art used to work at the Dentist's office!!!

I didn't show a picture of Tay just alone, being Minnie. Here she is at our Ward Carnival.

This was the closest Jake and I got to dressing up this year. He's wearing Rohne's Harry Potter hat. We didn't have much time, or energy, to find costumes. I sooo couldn't fit into mine from last year, darn-it.

Our cute, little lion baby. My good friend, Rachel, gave me this costume for Tristan to wear. It was so cute. Thanks, Rach!!

He endured Trick-or-Treating very well, just chillin' in the jogging stroller. Yes, the paci is purple. This is actually a new development, him taking a pacifier. Like, within the last week. He has never taken one before. Can't say it helps a whole lot, with the grouchiness, because he doesn't love it yet. But, we'll keep tryin'!

After going around our neighborhood, we headed over to Jake's parent's ward to the Trunk-or-Treat. We quickly realized that house to house was way better. It was so dark, you couldn't really see, or interact with anyone, and our poor, timid children kept getting mowed over by older kids, with pillowcases. It actually made me quite annoyed!! I mean, where were their parents? The kids got a big stash of candy, that we really don't need in our house. I had a friend who actually traded in her kids's Halloween candy for cold, hard, cash. I tried that with ours, and it didn't really work. I think I will just throw it away in a couple days, and tell them we ate it all. I've done that before. Jake and I are starting our hard-core diet/workout plan. I need to get rid of this baby weight!!!
