Trick-or-Treat!

The time has finally come for Megan's first trick-or-treat outing!  We debated on whether or not to put her in the fairy costume or in one of her backups.  Since it was such a gorgeous night tonight we got by with two long-sleeved white shirts underneath the costume and no coat!  We added a hat later on to keep her head warm but the way she was running to the doors I think she kept her blood flowing!

Daddy started the night with a pep-talk and some glowstick safety lessons.  But most importantly, told her to have fun!

Megan was so happy to put the candy into her bucket herself!  The first piece of way too much candy!

Back to the stroller and on to the next house!  "I could get the hang of this, Dad!  And the cuter I look, the more candy I get!"

 
Megan made sure she got back to the stroller to examine her loot between every house.  Even if the next house was only five steps away!

We got home around 8:00 and Megan was exhausted.  But it was only fair that she have one treat before bed.  She loves her M&M's!

We had a fabulous night trick-or-treating.  I'm not at all sad that we didn't stay home to answer doors.  In the past years we've only had about six or seven kids show up but I know we saw at least 20 out and about tonight.  I was also surprised to see how many houses had their lights on and then just a bowl of candy out front - actually a very clever idea if you trust the older kids going on their own!  Although, the little ones are dangerous as well - lots of people held out the bowl to let Megan grab her own.  At one house she snatched about five fun-sized bars for her pumpkin bucket!  I think all in all we hit about 20 or so houses in our neighborhoor.  We were actually impressed that there were that many lights on and some people really got into the decorations and dressed up.  The weather was great and Megan had fun.  What a great first trick-or-treating!
