Who doesn't love trick or treating???? I am going to age myself a bit by talking about how fun it used to be running wildly around our neighborhood, waiting in line at each house for candy, and then running to the next house. It seems like we used to trick or treat for hours. We sure did cover a lot of ground and got a pillow case worth filled with candy. What fun.Trevor decided on the costumes for himself and Darren this year. Not quite sure where the Spiderman craze came from because he hasn't seen the movies or anything. Who knows. But I thought he made a good choice, but we did so at the beginning of October. Which means were talking about Halloween for the entire month. Every night Trevor wanted to read the Berenstain Bears book....EVERY NIGHT! The excitement was contagious. I thought that the actual day of Halloween he would be a total mess due to over excitement. I was wrong. He handled himself well, even napped in the car and ate dinner before heading out for goodies! Trevor had tried on his costume as soon as we had brought it home at the beginning of Oct. So I had an idea of what to expect. But Darren looked so bulked up, those pretend muscles sent me into laughter....he looked more like superman than spiderman. Seeing them in their costumes really made me smile.
So we headed out on the trail. Keep in mind that we live in a townhouse community. They would have to climb a mountain of stairs for candy on this night. Which they did without complaint....just pure excitement. Trevor always wanted to be first (surprise) which was fine. He would ring the door bell and happily chime "Trick or Trick". At one of the houses the man who answered the door said,"well hello...are you spiderman". Trevor responded," no, I'm Trevor". That kid!!! Darren would stand patiently, to my surprise, while Trevor received his goodies and then I would prompt Darren to say his version of Trick or Treat. Which would basically sounded like a combined version of the TKET sounds. Not bad really. Then I would remind him to hold out his hand for candy. They did it over and over. I was really impressed honestly. We went to almost all the houses that had their lights on and then at Trevor's request, It was time to head home. We really went trick or treating. It was normal family fun. I liked that. Not all activities are easy for us. This was. Can't wait til next year!
