This year, we had a Fireman and his trusty sidekick dalmatian. At one point, we discussed turning our wagon into a firetruck to pull through the neighborhood. The idea was eventually tabled due to lack of time and the fickleness of young children. Who wants to invest several hours in creating a firetruck that no one will ride in?

The kids together. You'll see I've learned from last year: take the kids outside for a picture BEFORE IT GETS DARK. Duh.
We took the kids to a few friends' houses to trick or treat before coming home for dinner. No one was overtired, hungry or cold. Perfect. After dinner, I was shocked when William wanted to go out again with HIS COSTUME ON. Turns out, he put it all together. Costume+Halloween= CANDY. I thought we would maybe get to 2-3 houses. I wanted to keep the bar set low so I wouldn't be disappointed if we went home early. However, William RAN exuberantly to 12 different houses before I decided we needed to go home. He was AWESOME. It is so much more fun now that he understands!
After the second round of trick or treating (to different houses! I swear!), William was delighted to be the official candy distributor. No one else was allowed near the bowl. He had a serious job to do!
I convinced Amelia out of the puppy costume by offering up the kitty hat. $0.10 at a garage sale - BARGAIN!
