We had a fun Halloween this year with the two kiddos at our ward's trunk or treat. Growing up I never went to a trunk-or-treat and had the luxury I guess of going door to door but as a mom with two little ones I see the definite value of this method of candy gathering!
Our little Pooh Bear and Lion. Peter was not sure about his costume when I pulled it out a few weeks back to make sure it fit, but by the time Halloween came he was excited, I think mostly because he got to roar at people.
Isaac of course did not understand at all what was going on but enjoyed the people watching. Peter I think remembered from last year and kept talking about getting candy. He did a really good job at saying trick or treat and thank you even though most people gave him candy before he could even speak. I think next year we will try to take the boys door to door to get that experience.
Have you ever seen a cuter little Pooh Bear?
Our trunk: the spider tree. We make popcorn balls again this year and made them look like spiders. The kiddos really loved it, some of them even had to get help getting their spider down from mom and dad! :) You can't tell because it is too light in the picture but the web and tree glowed in the dark.
Here is Peter's haul. I could not believe how much candy he got! And he got a lot of good stuff too, last year it was mostly suckers and smarties but when we (as good parents should) inspected his candy after he went to bed we found that the crap candy as I call it was at a minimum. Now if we can just keep mom and dad out of his bag...
