Day 305: Trick or Treat!

Trick or Treat

Though this is her 4th(!) Halloween, this was the first year that LG was really interested in the going door to door trick or treating. The past three years, we’ve just taken her to Grandma’s and to few friend’s houses. I wasn’t sure that she wouldn’t be overcome with shyness, but she did a great job! We drilled her on the script all day: “Trick or treat! Thank you! Happy Halloween!” and though she was easily lured off script by chatty candy givers, she had a great time. We started at a friend’s house in our neighborhood and did the horseshoe street that she lives on and that was about enough for her. She was ready for Dad to take her candy bucket and carry it near the end. It was surprisingly heavy considering she carried it a long way by herself! She was a cute little dinosaur!

(And yes, the temps were in the 90s during the day, so shorts were appropriate!)
