Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween! We had a very successful Halloween this year. Some of you may recall that Halloween is not Alex's favorite holiday at all. In fact, last Saturday we tried to take the kids to this trick or treat at the mall thing and he threw a fit about what costume he was going to wear and after about a 10 minute temper tantrum it was decided that I would just take Anna (who by the way had a great time). The picture of Anna with the scarecrow was taken at the mall. Anyways, by Wednesday night when it was the annual trick or treat at the nursing home, he was on his best behavior. I think this had a lot to do with the fact that Anna got to keep all of her candy she got at the mall and we didn't make her share any of it. For the last couple of years, Alex has refused to trick or treat and then Anna would just end up sharing her candy with him when she got home. So anyways, this year Alex was very motivated and actually didn't even want to come home from trick or treating. Anna, as usual, had a great time. She loves scary things so this was a great night for her. She couldn't make up her mind on what she wanted to be this year so last weekend she wore the clown costume, the race car driver outfit on Wednesday night and by the end of the week she had moved onto the princess costume- as Chris says, typical woman, can't make up her mind!
