No school for the children today, so they are busy looking at their candy, sorting it, drooling over it, maybe a little trading, maybe a little sneaky snacking...
Yesterday, the children were allowed to wear their costumes to school in the afternoon.
I only managed to take one picture as they headed out the door. Here is one of my nerds.
And the rest of them, ready to go trick-or-treating.
It was such a nice evening to be outside. I can't remember a nicer October 31st.
We are all toasty warm when we got home.
I stumbled upon an idea to make Advent Calendar's from Halloween candy.
So this morning, each child picked out 31 candy's, and stuck them to a calendar that we made.
They are eagerly looking forward to December!
Caleb definitely worked the hardest on his.
Check out the detail at the top of his calendar above.
Natalee started trick-or-treating off strong, but quickly tired, so she rode in the wagon.
If there was a really "good" house, I'd make her get out to go beg for candy.
So many people commented on how cute she was in her pumpkin costume,
but she is definitely more reserved than her older brothers.
(Do you see how she has learned how to smile?
"Smile" used to mean "open your eyes really big" to her.)
Wyatt enjoyed trick-or-treating, but it took him a while to really understand the whole concept.
About half an hour in, he began to run from house to house yelling
"trink or treat" and then he said "bye, see you later" as we left.
