We had a fantastic Halloween this year. The girls were so excited to go door to door and fill their baskets. Better yet, Savannah's very best friends joined us which helped the big girls outnumber the little girls - something Savannah rarely experiences. The big girls were on a mission and eventually broke off from the us and the twins. I knew Savannah was thrilled to be in the company of Lizzie and Josie which allowed me to delight in the twins without any Mommy's guilt.
We started the night with two ladybugs and one witch. Lila was adamant about being a witch but I knew the wind would bother her and her hat. It only took two houses for her to go back and change into a ladybug costume. In the end, my three bugs were very cute together. The twins were especially cute and got lots of compliments on their ladybug costumes.
What was most surprising about the night was that Adeline was more vocal and forward on people's doorsteps. Lila hung back on the first house, afraid to say, "Trick-orTreat." Adeline took the lead which, eventually, helped Lila feel confident. Soon both girls were off and running with treat bags full of candy.
We were out for a solid two hours. It was pure joy for both the kids and parents. I couldn't help but stand back and watch my two little ones climb the doorsteps, say their cute, "Trick-or-Treats," and walk away with a very sweet, "Thank yous," and "Good nights." A fun night indeed!
