The kids could not wait to get out and go Trick or Treating. We had some tears beforehand when neighbors were spotted taking their kids on a hay ride down the street. Apparently we weren't on the invite list, which was hard for the kids. There were also last minute costume changes.
Owen didn't even get out of the front yard before he was taking the pumpkin head off because he couldn't see.
Chloe was supposed to be a ghost, but switched to her witch costume from last year because she said her arms couldn't come out from under the sheet to hold her pumpkin candy collector.
Panting Pony came along for the Halloween walk between houses and loved all the attention he got from all the kids AND the grown ups.
I loved watching the constant running. Such determination and focus to get from one house to the next as quickly as possible.
Love the jeans and the light-up, sequined tennis shoes on my girl. The shoes totally made the costume as her feet looked like running strobe lights after it got dark.
During the Trick or Treating process, the some of the parents rode in the hay ride trailer being pulled behind Shannon's tractor.
The Woodstock Police drove through the neighborhood and handed out candy to the kids. Thought that was pretty cool. They talked about safety as the kids walked up to the police car.
The kids acted sad when we told them it was time to head home, but I think they were okay with it. They both got a TON of candy and had to look at all of it spread out on the table when we got home.
Haggling and negotiating and trading ensued. As did the Parent Tax. Hooray for the Parent Tax!
