Trick-or-Treatin' in the 'Hood

Just some quick shots of our nearly rained out Halloween night trick or treating.  This was the FIRST year I was not with them and that was so weird to me! 

I stayed home with Lasa because babies and rain do not mix. Which was too bad, because the temperature itself was perfect for a walk with a stroller. She and I handed out candy instead for the 8-10 trick or treaters we got all night.  Our cul-de-sac is too off the beaten path to get much traffic.  The main drags in our neighborhood get all that craziness.  Not complaining though!

My favorite pics every year, the ones that get me snickering and giggling, are the ones with my babies all blurry and wide-eyed with haste hurrying through yards from door to sidewalk to next door.  I can't help myself.  These moments make my eyes water, they are so funny and precious to me.  

 

 

Also, I love the moments where they wait in anticipation at the doors ... together. ♥

 

 

 Other highlights of this year's Halloween included puppies, impromptu Star Wars sparring, Leia losing her patience with her Daddy's picture taking, and the fact that this is the FIRST year that Anna did not have to be carried home from exhaustion.  :}

Those eyes.  That precious (yet grumpy) face.

Home again, home again, where we sorted out candies we didn't want or couldn't have and passed those back out to our last few trick-or-treaters.

After a couple hours hoofin' it around our neighborhood, the kiddos were in need of some energy.  Sugar was consumed. :}   

And a pile of peanutty goodies for Josh's Dad Tax ... which Mom gets to enjoy, too. :)

Anna is already thinking about what she can be next year...
