Halloween

Tonight was Elijah and Peyton's first time Trick or Treating, and they LOVED it. I didn't get around to taking any pics, it was a hectic evening....cook and eat dinner, t-or-ting, bath, bed, and I got off to a late start. Eli was just a dragon, in his normal street clothes, no came or anything. Peyton was a giraffe, and the most adorable one at that. I might just have to dress him up just to take his pic b/c hes so cute in it. Anyway, I know this might sound incredibly stupid, but I took them one at a time. It was really fun that way b/c I got to experience them enjoying it rather than fight with them to walk faster, or not to push each other. Elijah went first, and had a BALL! He got scared at the man who lives right across from us b/c he was wearing scary mask. But after he loaded Eli up with candy, he all of a sudden appeared to be a "good guy" in Elijah's book. Eli got totally loaded up with candy, mostly chocolate.
Then I took Pate out, he wasn't in the mood for walking, so I carried his 26lb booty around for about 2 blocks. Peyton didn't want to hold his bucket, smile, talk, grunt or show any other emotion other than totally pissed off. It was dark, there were people in masks and costumes answering doors as I shouted out with too much entusiasm "Trick or Treat" so Pate thought this was all so odd. Fast forward to going back home....He had a piece of chocolate, and licked a lolipop for about 30 seconds before the sham of a holiday was over for him. He didnt care about doing any of the Halloween things, maybe next year :)
