Halloween---Our first trip of trick or treating as parents




Happy Halloween! Though Madelyn shouldn't really know that much about Halloween, when she woke up, she was very excited.  I had to chase her down the hall with her PJs half on, half off just to get her dressed in the morning.  Kids must have an inner feeling of the Halloween excitement.
 When Todd woke up, we had a nice family breakfast together eating jack-o-burgers.  We even had a spider drop down from the fan and join our breakfast.  At noon, I took Madelyn and we attended a work Halloween party.  I always enjoy seeing all my former co-workers.  There, Maddie began her trick or treat, lesson, as she learned to take a candy out of the bowl.  It was amazing to see just how quickly she picked it up.
 When Todd came home from work, then the next party began.  We ate chili and scones.  Our first trick or treaters came at 3:45, then 5:45, and continued.  Glad I had my candy bowl ready to go the night before.  Then we put our costumes on and headed out the door.  Todd was a red neck, Joe Dirt, Madelyn was our lady bug, and I was the bug catcher.

The neighbors loved our cute Madelyn and Todd's mullet and hill billy teeth.  For it being Maddie's first trip out, she did really well.  She didn't cry or get scared.  So I think we must have done a successful job on our first trip out for trick-or-treating.
