Yes.....the costumes are the same, but it's a different day! Thank goodness for that trunk-or-treat a week or so ago because Halloween was a BUST!! Troy and I were thinking that because we live in a HUGE apartment complex, that it would be awesome for trick-or-treating. Boy....were we ever wrong! The kids got in their costumes (Talia had to wear her boots instead of her Cindrella shoes....which was fine with me because I'm sure her boots were more comfortable) and we headed out for what we thought would be a fun night of knocking on doors, getting lots of candy (yay....sugar rushes!!! lol) and hearing, "Awwww....how cute." This was NOT the case. We started in the building next us..... "knock, knock, knock" on one door...... no answer. So "knock, knock, knock" on another door..... no answer here either. "knock, knock, knock" times 16 doors = no answer at any of the doors which = disappointment. I think Troy and I were the most disappointed because we thought it was so rude for people not to answer the door for kids. "Well, maybe they weren't home" were some responses I got from some people...... nope, they were home. Lights on, music blasting, people talking inside....they were definitely home! But what can you do? At least the kids had the opportunity to do something for Halloween which they probably wouldn't have had if they weren't with us for the weekend. They had a lot of fun at the trunk-or-treat, and they just enjoyed putting their costumes on for Halloween. They thought it was pretty neat that the dogs went with us too.... and that they too had on costumes! :) Next year, we're just going to go to a mall where they have halloween activities and trick-or-treating from store to store. Halloween sure isn't what it use to be when we were kids!
The pictures are of Demari, "Daddy", Talia, Maxie, and Jeminye (Maxie as an angel, and Jeminye as a devil). Maxie is super easy to take pictures of because she will stay if you tell her to. Jeminye has a super hard time being calm and paying attention (Troy says she has ADD....LOL).Hmm......have you ever noticed that I'm never in pictures??
Ohh, too bad about halloween.
ReplyDeleteYou're never in the pictures, because you are the one taking them, just like how i'm never in the pictures.
That is a bummer. When we got home, I weighed all of Emily's candy...more than eight (8) pounds!!! While we were out trick-or-treating the bag was so heavy for her that she would drop it to the ground when the door was answered to say "trick or treat". The neighborhood where we went gave out some full-sized items, like whole candy bars, big bags of Skittles/Starbursts, etc. I kept wanting her to go to more houses so I...er she could have more candy, but I guess she did pretty well. I remember when we went trick-or-treating at Wymount Terrace, EVERYBODY gave out candy. Nice to see that you are keeping the blog a little more up-to-date.
