Finally, the main event was upon us...All Hallow's Eve! We started our evening at a friend's neighborhood party, but when darkness fell, we hit the streets in search of candy! Darth Vader and Snake Eyes could hardly contain their excitement as they sprinted from door to door.
Jaxon has the routine down, but Baylor hasn't quite memorized the script. Instead of echoing Jaxon's "Trick or treat," Baylor shouted, "Happy Halloween!" At least both boys said, "Thank you!" That's probably what's most important.
House after house, door after door, the boys were collecting quite the stash of sugary treasure. Just what we needed...more sugar! As if our candy bowls weren't already overflowing after trick-or-treating at the Alligator Farm and our various Halloween parties.
By the 20th house or so, Baylor declared he had "enough candy" and started to consume rather than continue to collect. Much to Jaxon's disappointment, we decided to end the evening on the early side. That's the consequence when Halloween falls on a school night. I'd say we made the most of the holiday though, and I can only imagine what Halloween 2012 will hold for us!
