Trick or Treat

I was so excited when Claire told me she wanted to be a witch this year...but as soon as we went through the store isle she decided that once again she would like to be a princess. Macy was all set to be a cowgirl but as soon as Claire switched to royalty then she decided she needed to be a princess as well. So it went, Claire was Belle and Macy was Cinderella.

Why is she so silly? Seriously?We had our family Halloween party out at my parents house and the kids loved it! We had homemade root beer, a haunted train ride through the corn, sloppy joes (with pickles), a pinata, and super fun games. A total hit. Macy still talks about going for a ride on Uncle Ryan's train. Our little Olive was an ear of corn and I wanted to eat her up all night. She was just too cute.

Is she ready to be picked yet?Jer and I decided that our (his) costume needed to consist of a bit more clothing this year (as opposed to last year, and the year before that). We were square dancers. We do a mean do si do, if you were wondering.

The Young Clan all gussied up.
That's my handsome partner. Aren't I lucky?

On Halloween night we all got dressed up again and went trick or treating with my brother. The weather was awesome and the moon was a bright crescent. Claire was totally into trick or treating this year. She was so excited to go with her cousin and they ran from door to door. She fell at least five times running from house to house but it didn't phase her one bit. She was having way to much fun. It is so fun to see your kids enjoying the things you loved as a little kid. Macy held my hand and chatted with me all night. She told me what was scary, what was funny and she loved getting candy at each door. She especially liked the house with blue Christmas lights that had a lady dressed as Santa Claus. The night was so fun and perfect.
