Trick or Treating

On Sunday we took the kids trick or treating for the first time. Last year we took them to a few relatives' houses, but this year we actually went door to door. Joe seemed to be fine with it, and Emily loved it. As we were leaving each door she'd say, "More trick or treating?" and we'd say yes, so she'd say, "Yaaaay!" It was fun. We stayed close to home and were only out about 15 minutes, but the kids could have gone longer. We still came home with plenty of candy. Next year I'm sure we'll go out longer.

Joseph as Yoda and Emily as Princess Leia! They were distracted by some kids trick or treating across the street. When we came outside Emily yelled to them, "Kids, I'm coming! I have my bucket!" and held it up.

Emily all dressed up.

covered in fabric).

Emily likes her "ears." She puts on her costume almost every day. She likes to put it on to eat her candy. And sometimes she asks to go trick or treating again.
