Trick or Treat

Sydney was ARIEL.... and Hailey was a WITCH!!!
Shopping in the stores this year, there was not a whole lot to choose from. One traumatic day after Sydney's 5 year well child check....we went to the mall and I got her costume at a Halloween shop. Man, that was not cheap! She loves it though, and she wears it all the time around the house. I knew the pressure was on to find something for Hailey and I waited too long. Hailey was set on being a witch, so I bought her a REAL dress in the girls section and just accessorized. What you can't see in the picture....is she had to have RED shoes, like the Wizard of OZ. So, she is cute witch with nice clothes....but stole Dorothy's shoes. HA HA!!
Since our neighborhood is hard to trick or treat in.....we had to do it the LAZY Whitmore WAY! DRIVE..... The reason for that is, the houses are too far apart. Each lot I think has around a half an acre. We have .59 Anyway....the kids layered up under and over their costume. I can't remember the exact temp but it was COLD enough warm up back in the car after a few houses. I did the driving, Bill stayed home and passed out candy. I love this picture of Sydney in the car...she has a glow necklace on that was green. She looked so cute. Poor Hailey, she had to wear those Dorothy shoes....even if there was SNOW on the ground. Needless to say, her feet were WET after the first 4 houses. She didn't care though.....she wanted to keep going!!! After 45 minutes later we were home with LOTS of candy!
Then Hailey was obsessed with counting all her candy.....OH MY! There was some 100+ pieces. If you can believe it...people were giving out BIG FULL size candy bars. I told the kids next time....TELL me which house did that, so we go back NEXT year. After a fun night of getting candy.....and being chilled to the bone....it was PJ and BEDTIME!!! Then time for mom and dad to raid the candy and watch Nip / Tuck!!!
