Halloween

Cailin was waivering between wanting to be a Lion or a Care Bear for Halloween. She decided to be a Care Bear. The kids wore their costumes to daycare on Wednesday (for a trial run) for a Halloween party. Andrew was insistent on being Clifford the Big Red Dog. Got the cute, furry Clifford costume and everything.

Well, Andrew wore his costume for a total of about 5 minutes, then insisted it come off. After that, he assured us he did NOT want to put it on again. Which he did not. He stayed at home with Mom to hand out candy to the trick or treaters.

Caillin was very, very excited to go trick-or-treating. Daddy and Cailin went over to Auntie Buzzy (Rayna) and Uncle Dan's house in Chanhassen to trick or treat. They had a blast. They trick or treated with Uncle Dan, Joey, his girlfriend, Tiffany and Christopher. Cailin chattered the entire time, soaking it all up (and coming home with a large loot of candy).Andrew LOVED handing out candy. We were playing with playdoh inbetween trick or treaters, but then it became so often that he'd camp himself in the doorway (door open) kneeling and saying "mama, more kids coming?". I'd tell him "yes, we have lots more kids coming!". He was very happy.

Maybe he'll try the other side of trick-or-treating next year!
