Halloween

Liam didn't understand Halloween. We'd watch programs on TV and talked about Trick or Treating. He'd tried his Handy Manny costume on many times. But he didn't really understand. I'm not sure he still does. When listening to him talk Halloween is a thing or place, not a day. But he certainly understands the candy, a novelty in our house. He's been trying to have some for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Grace, of course, still has no idea about Halloween or candy. But she LOVED all the attention she got. And certainly knew that everyone was telling her how cute she was all dressed up.

We had two Trunk or Treat events. Trunk or Treating is something we'd never heard of before. Apparently a group of like people (be it a church family or a group of school parents) park their cars together and hand out candy from the trunk of their cars. Some adults go so far as to dress up and likewise decorate their cars. It was interesting and certainly made Trick or Treating easier for parents and safer for kids.

This is Liam waiting for everyone to get ready for his first Trunk or Treat.


Off we go!


Waiting for Daddy to open that much anticipated candy.


Grace didn't dress up for Liam's Trunk or Treat at his school. But she was still pretty cute. She had fun watching all the other kids running around. She really wished she could run around too.

Grace and Papa. She thinks he's so special.


Another one of Liam dressed as Handy Manny.


Grace with Grand Bobbie. She was so still for Grand Bobbie and sat with her a long time.


I had to include this one because Grace was so happy. But she's usually a happy girl. (Notice her and Granna's matching outfits.)
