TRICK OR TREAT!!

Although, I am tired and ready for bed, I still had to wrap up tonight while it is fresh on my mind. What fun what fun! I think Lydia had just as much fun as her sister! I was so surprised to see a 13 month old baby trick or treat and actually get the idea!

We started by getting all dressed up for the big night. Lillian couldn't wait to be Aerial the Mermaid and Lydia was an octopus tonight. Their costumes were adorable and thank you Nikki for the octopus costume. Both girls received compliments all night long and everyone loved Lydia's eight legs!

Lydia didn't want to get dressed at first and cried for about 20 minutes. I thought the night was going to be a disaster and then once we hit the streets, Lydia turned on her charm. :) We hit almost every street in the neighborhood and went for two long hours. It was so much fun watching Lillian run from house to house and have Lydia try to keep up! Lillian was exhausted by the end of the night and kept telling me her feet hurt! :)

At the very first house, Lydia stood up out of her little red car and walked right up to the people with her sister. But, they couldn't just put any candy in her basket..oh no! Lydia picked up what she wanted...a lollipop! She put that lollipop right in her mouth and didn't waste any time. She is a hot mess! She went to every house with Lillian and kept picking out what she wanted and would take multiple items at a time. She would even put things in her mouth and then try to put them back in the basket. No respect! :) I would tell her just take one and then all the parents fell in love with her and told her she could have it all! She has no shame with those tentacles of hers!

And Lillian was beaming going trick or treating tonight and walked and walked. She didn't want to come home, but her feet were killing her after two hours of walking! And she loved having me dress up with her and that we had the same color of hair. Lillian just loves the social aspect of trick or treating and could care less about the candy. Lydia, on the other hand, ate a lollipop, bag of M&Ms, animal crackers and another lollipop when we got home. What did big sister eat? NOTHING!!! We just gave the candy back to our neighbor to keep passing out to other kiddos! :)

It was a fantastic evening and it ended with me going to a Halloween party with friends. It was fun to dress up with the children this year and I would do it again next year for sure. It is fun being a kid again and doing the MONSTER MASH!! And just remember to BEAT IT!!! You had to be at the party! :) Good night all goblins, monsters and ghosts. Happy Halloween!
