"Trick-or -Treat"

We went to Rachel and Max's to take the kids trick or treating. They had a great time. My brother Brett came to join in on the fun and even dressed up as a "mexicano". Jared was a frog again and Alex was a duck (pond animals). Elizabeth was a bunny and Paige was a black cat, who had to hold her tail when she walked otherwise it would hit her feet.


Alex liked holding his calderon until he got a piece of candy in it and then it was too heavy for him. Jared would actually say "Trick or treat" this year. He would say "thank you" and exclaim "yummy candy" and laugh as he ran to the next house. Robbie had to tell Jared more than a few times to only take one piece of candy. Most people let them pick their candy and after they had all taken a piece he would try and sneak one more. Alex did a great job, getting lots of candy for his mommy. ;) Let's be honest, he is 7 months...who else is going to eat it?

When we got back to Rachel's they enjoyed seeing all the candy they had collected. The adults enjoyed eating some yummy potato soup Rachel had made, which helped warm us up after walking around on a chilly evening.

Oh, they are so cute!! I miss them! Can't wait to see them at Thanksgiving! Annalee didn't get to Trick-or-Treat, but she played with Grandma and Grandpa Haertel instead, which was an even better treat!!
