Happy Halloween!!

Today was the day that Riley has been waiting a long time for....and thankfully I think that it did not disappoint! She was all set for school and was excited to bring her costume to change into. She said that they changed, paraded around the block (and that people threw candy at them?), and then they had a party. She was in such a great mood when I picked her up and could not wait to get home and trick or treat. When we got home, we were barely able to get Payton in her costume and snap a few pictures and then we were off. We were joined by Auntie Bika and Jay (and Diesel tagged along too). Payton was not sure what to do or what to think of the whole experience. She kept taking the candy out of her bucket and throwing it on the ground or just licking the wrappers. Riley was an old pro and most of the time did not even want anyone to come to the door with her. After one loop Riley and I left the others back at home, she grabbed a sweatshirt, and we were off to do some more trick or treating. It was quiet in our subdivision and many houses had the lights off or empty candy buckets (do any kids really follow the take 1 rule?), but Riley had a blast. After we were done, it was home for a warm meal and some cupcakes, so graciously prepared by Bika and warming up. Mike was home handing out candy and he said it was kind of slow. With all that we have left and Riley's loot, we will not be shy on sugar for a LONG time!! Happy Halloween to everyone! Now to hold Riley off until Christmas.....
