Trick or treat givers

Since Halloween fell on a Sunday we opted to stay home and not partake in the trick or treating. We did, however, fill a basket full of candy and turn on our porch light to await other littles coming by in a wide variety of costumes (and non costumes - what's that all about, anyway?)

I was worried J & C would wonder why they were not out there knocking on doors, getting more candy than they'd know what to do with. I worried they'd have a hard time giving away the mound of candy in our basket to complete strangers.

I had no need to worry. When the first knock came, Jackson was right by my side to see what was going on. He watched as I gave that first group a piece of candy each. When the second knock came Jackson was there again, only this time he handed the candy to the waiting goblins, cheerleaders, and fairies.

Our two little ones spent the rest of the evening standing with the front door open anxiously awaiting the next batch of trick or treaters. Caroline would dance around the front porch as Jackson waved the candy around as if he were advertising our goods. It was fun to watch.

I hope you all had a great Halloween, too!
