My parent’s were in town for the big holiday so Doug stayed home and gave out candy while the rest of us went trick-or-treating. We treated one side of the street for a while and then treated our way back home on the other side. At our second house, Chase fell down and hurt his hands. we put his gloves on and he powered through. It was pretty cold, but the kids has a few layers on under their costumes. I had on thermals too, but stayed perfectly warm! We had some costume malfunctions – Karis’ hat wouldn’t stay on, Chase’s Vader jumpsuit kept coming un-velcroed and the mask – he lost it pretty quickly. Bob decided that the mask fit him better and he wore it most of the evening. Kind of reminded me of Michael Myers… I think we were only out about an hour and a half, but it was enough. They were getting tired of walking and carrying their super heavy bags of candy. There were a ton of kids out and you were never alone – much different than in our old neighborhood in Austin. After stripping down out of our layers they each got to pick out three pieces of candy to enjoy. Then it was off to bed. Good times, good times!
