Halloween Fun!

Happy Halloween! Lincoln's second Halloween was much more eventful than his first. Last year, we went to a couple of houses then handed out a bit of candy. This year, we hit up whole neighborhood with a big gang of kids! Linc decided to dress up as a bee this year. We asked him to choose between a bee and a chicken . . . he picked bee, though it was probably just easier to say! Anyway, he looked super cute and the costume was very comfortable. (He was a little bothered by the wings at first, but got over it when the action began.) The Hogg's house was our first stop, and Linc got a special treat. He loved the Halloween books - especially the Elmo one! He also got to choose a piece of candy which he proudly showed to everyone we saw later.

We met up with the Brosnahan family to trick or treat and had so much fun! Here's our first house - Elise was in charge of rousing the homeowner to the door with candy. She was very good at ringing and knocking. Linc and Alexis waited patiently and gladly accepted the candy!

We picked up a few other kids along the way and ended up with a big group. Will (from school) was in the neighborhood trick or treating too. What fun!

Some people just left a bowl of candy on their doorstep, and we tried to only take one piece each. Linc and Alexis made their selections thoughtfully.
Everyone had a snack or two along the route. Linc's choice was a little Hershey bar. Yummy!

The night ended with dinner and a swing or two. The girls were very sweet to Lincoln and took turns trying to feed him chips while watching a Barney video. What a lucky guy!

We all had a fun Halloween . . . and we're all worn out! Linc scored lots of great candy and had fun with his friends. Someone decided to put Game 4 of the World Series on Halloween night, so we had to catch up with Tivo. Happy Halloween!
