Trick or Treat

Nate and Abby took the neighborhood by storm this Halloween. Nate, dressed as Indiana Jones (That's my boy!) weighed his bag in at 8.2 pounds of candy. He's already hard at work to reduce his inventory. Abby went as Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street. My oldest neice actually nicknamed her Abby Cadabby before we knew about the character, so it just had to be. Although she refused to speak to anyone while trick-or-treating, she was very good at promptly holding up her pumpkin bucket to receive the candy.

The kids got some good practice on the Monday before Halloween when we went trick-or-treating at Crossroads Village with friends. Nate, friend Daniel and his brother Stephen gave mom Susan and I a workout as we tried to keep up with their speedy treat-seeking. Abby and little Benjamin thoroughly enjoyed the Ghost Train ride. It was obvious that Abby already understood the value of her candy at this point when she ran away from a 1-1/2 year old ladybug saying, "Them can't take my candy!"
