Trick-or-Treat!

I find myself making plans and play out how things will go, in my mind. Unfortunately it often backfires and what I imagined is quite different from the reality. Like how it was going to be trick-or-treating this year. I imagined Mcayden dressed in his little fireman costume, wearing his hat and happily stashing away the candy in his bag and smiling for some great photos.
The reality was that Mcayden refused to wear his hat, woudn't smile for any pictures and wanted to eat every piece of candy as it was handed to him. He threw a fit when we would tell him the candy needed to go in his bag until we got home.
Even though it didn't go as smoothly as I had imagined, we did have fun. Mike, Charity and Kadon were with us and Mcayden and Kadon had fun trick-or-treating together. Kadon made us laugh, as he loaded up his pumpkin bucket with goodies. We were glad the boys were able to be together this Halloween.

Mcayden and Kadon were so darling knocking on the doors and saying, "trick-or-treat". We were really proud of them as they politely thanked the people and would say, "Happy Halloween" as they left (with some prompting).

When we got home, we dumped all of his candy on a sheet and Mcayden got to check out all of the candy he got. He looked very pleased.

Addison wanted to eat all the candy she could get her little hands on!
