This was Aiden's first time to walk around and actually do trick or treating. Last year, I carried him around and followed Alexa and Blair as they actually went door to door. Since Aiden is currently enamored with Elmo, Blair loaned him an Elmo-head basket to catch his candy for the evening.
Marina's niece and nephew came along too, which was excellent because they showed the boys how to do it.
Aiden's toga held up nicely throughout the evening. Two and a half meters of fabric, four safety pins and a short length of gold rope is all it took! The only hiccup is that we lost his dagger at some point. It's a bummer because he likes to play with that dagger.
Blair was a mummy - his costume was excellent! He did pretty good at the trick or treating, although he did seem to get a little nervous at a few of the masked trick or treaters that were floating around the neighborhood.
Aiden's first house to trick or treat at: Tom, Chris and Alexa's neighbor
Pre-arranged marriage:
We all walked down one street while Chris stayed back to hand out candy. The boys were getting tired of walking, so we went back to the Ramby's house. They pulled out the wagon and went back out again. That time Alexa, Skylar and I hung back. We ate pizza and candy and the adults even imbibed a little vino. All in all, I thought it was an excellent evening. Aiden and Travis share a favorite candy: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Yum!
