For the Trunk or Treat Kalia went as a butterfly, I'm a flower, Amalyn is a caterpillar, and Tristan is a cocoon. Insects and super heros seemed to be the most common themes this year. Tristan is a good coach and Kalia had the trick or treat thing down by the end of the night. I was pretty surprised when they arrived at my trunk and she starts digging in the bucket for candy (I'd been holding it low for some other kids). I made her say trick or treat for me and thank you after getting candy.
Daddy's and Kalia's sweet nectar collected from the many flowers :).
Tristan unfortunately had to study on Beggar's Night (he was so disappointed, though he took her for trunk or treat. It's only fair I get a turn) so I got to take the little butterfly pollenating. She was quite excited to go and didn't want to quit though it was pretty chilly. We treated in the neighborhood nearby. As soon as her costume was on she toddled off to the door. I thought she would have been a lot more hesitant but candy is a pretty strong motivator. After getting candy at the first house she was very excited to head to the next house. She was quite a trooper to walk and was doing great until we hit some high traffic and my shy little girl emerged. I thought we were headed home (I was pretty cold) but as soon as we got out of the thick of it she was back on her feet and eager to get more. We were back to the car but she protested being put in, so we trekked onward to another 15 or so houses before she was willing to stop. We met some doggies and got a little scared by a motion sensor rock that cackled at us. It was a fun night. I can't wait to do Christmas with her!
Little does she know that mommy will probably be eating most of that, candy taxes are high at our house.
