Babies in costumes are adorable! But let's face it, once you dress them up there's not much to do with them besides snap some photos. So this year we decided to invite friends over who's children were too young to do any serious trick-or-treating. We planned a potluck and nothing else and the party just sort of evolved into a 4 hour fun fest.
There were six families including us. This made for 8 children; the oldest was 4 and the rest were 2 or younger. Everyone gathered at our house, wolfed down a hot dog or brat, donned their costumes, and prepared for trick-or-treating. But before we left, we had to take some pictures of all the kids together. What ensued was a paparazzi-esque photo shoot that left all stunned and one sobbing (Ash).
Trick-or-treating was awesome! So many little ones grabbing for candy and traipsing through leaf piles. Just when I thought Ash had the whole "trick or treat....thank you" down, he forgot and started saying "candy!" when the people came to the door. We basically hit one block and a cul-de-sac before it got chilly. Then we headed back home for more treats and a Veggietales movie.
In the end I think a great time was had by all. I know I had more fun than I expected and that's always a great way for a party to turn out.
