Trio's Second Halloween

So to some people second Halloweens may get overlooked. The first Halloween is the first so naturally it's special. And the third well then they can actually say trick or treat and get the concept a little more. However I think Trio had a great second Halloween.

Started off rocky. He was still reeling from his partying the night before at the community party where he won first prize in his age group for his costume!! I was so proud and now he has a gift card to McDonald's that is only for him (I'm not like other parents who use it for themselves; he won it on his cuteness so it's only for him). But he danced the night away after all the contest excitement and he hadn't gotten a really good nap on Friday either. So at the beginning of our pictures you have a very unhappy looking Disco Trio. But as we started walking and going house to house her perked up. I told my friend Tiffany as we walked away from a house "I knew he was going to perk up as soon as he realized he was getting stuff from people." It was hard though because all our friends that we trick or treated with are around 3 (with the exception of D'Angela who is about a year younger than Trio give or take a couple of days) and they can walk fast so Mommy (as a goth angel) got a little workout.

One hilarious part was this one house where no one answered at first; however as we were walking away I heard the screen door and turned around to this little boy running after us going "We have trick or treat!!" He knocked on the screen door and nothing. He kept knocking. The other two big kids (Darius and Kendall) had given up and walked away and I had to drag him down the stairs and he kept knocking on the siding, on a window. I told him "Boy you're worse than a Jehovah's Witness!" (it's a joke laugh no offense meant)

Then we headed back home. Some of our friends wanted to get home in time for the Longhorn game (boo) and the kids were getting tired. Besides it is not until the kids are around 5 or 6 that they feel the need to hit up every house they can. But it was fun especially when Trio cheered up. And then we came back home and hung out with our friends letting the kids run around burning off the candy and cheese puffs they kept sneaking. All in all it was a good Halloween weekend. Now it's time to gear up for the last two months of the year and the last two holidays.
