Halloween

So we are going to jump around with a few posts, because I finally got our pictures in order and wanted to start with Halloween.

This year, Avery wanted to be a minion and she wanted Carter to be a teddy bear (one of the minions has a teddy bear).  This worked out great for us, because Avery was a teddy bear when she was Carter's age.  We both rushed home from work and got the kids fed, dressed up, and headed out before it got dark.

The kids in the wagon.  Carter didn't know what was going on other than he was hot in his bear costume, but is always down for a wagon ride with his sister.

We made it a solid 10 yards before they wanted out of the wagon and to walk.  At this point we thought it might be a long night.

The first house was a bowl, so Carter was just passing us the candy.

The second house had someone home, but Carter was a bit hesitant.  Avery was a pro so she dove right in.

By the third or fourth house, Carter had it all figured out.  He did have a bit of trouble only picking the one piece of candy he wanted and tried to touch them all.  If they tried to give him two pieces at first he would try to give it back.  Towards the end of the night he was taking 2~3 pieces instinctively.

Overall, the kids made it all the way around the neighborhood and did great together.  I can't wait until next year, when Carter can talk a little bit more.  We actually had to empty their buckets into the wagon because the brought back so much candy (which I have almost enjoyed all of it).
