We met up with some friends for pizza and then we went up and down the street trick-or-treating. Chicago goes all out for Halloween, and the homes on this street were decorated festively... glowing lights, spider webs, carved pumpkins, monsters and skeletons... such a fun atmosphere.
Because the homes are close together, it didn't take long and we didn't have to go far to fill our bags.
June enjoyed all the action from her perch in the stroller. Alli and Ruby walked, dragging their loaded treat bags behind them.
Of course the best part is coming home and laying out all the loot... surveying the sugar... sorting it and trading it. Alli made neat piles of each type of candy. Snickers won... again.
June couldn't believe her eyes! She was surrounded by colorful crinkly stuff! Awesome!
Ruby lined her candy up one by one.
June found a stray Rolo and popped it into her mouth... wrapper and all. By the time I found the candy, she had a chocolate mustache and beard and she was holding a little lump of sticky foil in her hand.Today, I woke up to, "Can I have a piece of candy?" And yesterday morning too.
Now we have to figure out how to distribute the ton of candy that the kids collected. All at once? Stretch it out?
