Jack totally got it this year and couldn't wait to get candy. This morning when he woke up I heard him telling his stuffed animals that "today is the day we get to go trick-or-treating!" He was not scared of anyone (even the neighbors in the creepy masks) and wanted to hit every house. He was great about wishing everyone a Happy Halloween. Henry rallied to have the best time of all of us. He ran along ahead of us and determinedly followed Jack up each set of stairs. We were amazed that he actually kept his costume on the whole time - even after we got home. He then dug right into the candy. Both boys would have happily eaten everything in their bucket but they are also quite excited about a visit from the "Switch Witch". They each picked out five pieces of candy to save and are leaving the rest for the Switch Witch who will switch it with a toy (this year, noisy animal flashlights!).
Jack had just as much fun passing candy out to trick-or-treaters. He stood by the open screen door watching, listening, and jumping up and down as they approached. He also was excited by the neighbor's spooky display - giant eyes peeking out their top windows. "It looks like something big lives in there!"
Happy Halloween!
