Trick or Treat!

The boys had a lot of Trick or Treating fun during a couple occasions.

But first I'll share a 3-way picture of my 3 cowboys (I'm sure Emmett will take his turn when the time comes!)
The first Trick or Treating experience was of course the ward Halloween party the Friday before Halloween. Here's Batman about ready to go Trick or Treating:
Carson checking out his loot:
And our little Harley rider with Travis. Travis did sport some fangs for a little while and I dressed up for the first time in years as a witch.
Heading for the car. Avery wanted this picture included so everyone could see his cape:
Our second round was our 4th and final trip through the Medical Collage of Wisconsin on Thursday the day before Halloween. The best location was a large room of cubicles decked out like Candyland! They even had all of the different locations you find in the game! I had my hands too full with managing Carson and trying to keep Emmett happy to take any pictures, but RaQuelle got this picture of Batman and Dash:
She also took pictures of the kids afterwards: Carson the Cowboy, Nora the Lion, Sienna as Dash, Kieley the Greenbay Cheerleader, Avery as Batman, Dawson the Packer, Hailey the Peacock.
I tried a few shots with Emmett in there, but that didn't work out so well.
On Halloween night when our neighborhood did Trick or Treating (Milwaukee is funny, they schedule Trick or Treating for the Sunday before Halloween, but neighborhoods can schedule their own) the boys got to pass out candy. I would probably have taken Avery out for a bit but didn't because unfortunately after we got home from the Medical Collage the boys developed raspy voices and by Halloween morning they had some nasty coughs, so we just took it easy.
Avery was super excited about handing it out, and the boys had their noses pressed to the door most of the evening waiting for people to come (good thing it wasn't too cold). When Avery kept giving candy away, Carson couldn't understand why Avery kept taking it away from him and telling him "no." Why did everyone else get candy and not him!?! Carson was NOT okay with the whole system!

The scariest part of Halloween day may actually have been something Carson said.
A political ad was running on the tv and Carson looked up to watch. The candidates name had not yet been said, but when he finally appeared on the ad Carson said, in that way you know your child is identifying something, "Brrrock!" After telling Travis the story he said "Uh oh, he's hugging trees (see Fall Fun), we're having trouble getting him to eat meat, and now he's identifying Barack!" Hilarious, I love seeing Travis squirm.

And finally, for Halloween day Emmett was no longer a Harley enthusiast, but a skeleton. Travis called him Skeletor all day. Isn't he so cute:

Happy Halloween!
