We weren't planning on taking Ian trick or treating this year because I thought he might be too young. But then the kid in me got really excited for him and we** decided at the last minute to take him up and down our own block. We had a really fun time and it was a great chance to talk to our neighbors.
**Jeremy says he never went trick or treating as a kid and was a bit reluctant for Ian to go. I teased him mercilessly of course and then promised we wouldn't end the night with a cauldron of witch's brew. :-)
He didn't have a costume so I bought some Shrek ears at the store along with some play makeup. He thought the ears were bunny ears so I made a little nose and whiskers. He decided however, after looking in the mirror, that a 'roar' would be a very fitting sound for a little Shrek bunny rabbit. So in the end I'm not sure what he was but it was all pretty cute.
Eyeing all the candy he brought home.

Ahhh, look at Sawyer! So cute! I love the ears & makeup you put on Ian. We had fun trick-or-treating, and Samuel loved it. Also a great way to meet more of our neighbors. I'm glad you guys had a good time! Very cute pictures! --Karli
Ian made a good haul on sweets. And speaking of sweet, Sawyer, you are something else to look at. Love you boys. Grandpa
What fun! We went trick or treating at a friend's house this year and the boys loved it. We also agreed that it doesn't have to be "the devil's night", let's not get dramatic! LOL We had fun just dressing up and being silly! Your boys are too cute. Love the Shrek bunny rabbit!
Jeremy, I actually asked Adam about this...I was confused because he went trick or treating every year. Hummmmm. Why didn't you get to go and he said that the family had moved out to the country (in Potsdam) and there just wasn't a neighborhood to trick or treat in. So...my advice...whoop it up while they are young enough for you to influence their costume choices! :D I know Adam has! They have both been several characters from Star Wars over the years. LOL You just didn't have enough time to help pick out costumes for your boys or you would have had way more fun. Now that you know Andrea has her heart set on participating in this holiday...join in and enjoy. {Learn to say this early, "Ok kids...shower time, while we go through your candy and make sure it's safe to eat."} :D Good times!
