After naptime, we got costumes back on and got ready for trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. Since this was Cassidy's first time trick-or-treating, she and Daddy went outside to practice at our house. She rang our doorbell and Gavin and I answered. She said "trick-or-treat", I gave her some candy in her pumpkin bucket, and then we practiced saying thank-you. Then, we were off. All four of us walked around to the houses together. The first house we went to was all decked out for Halloween with spooky music playing and a fake straw man with a scary face sitting on their porch. Cassidy was really unsure about this. She kept asking "What are these? What is that?" After getting her candy from that
house, she spent the rest of the evening talking about that spooky music. We went to 7 or 8 houses on our street, and the kids were ready to head back home. We traded out the peanut-y treats for smarties and lollipops, and Cassie had a ball eating sweets the rest of the night. I was impressed that she even attempted any dinner (we made it through milk and applesauce and everything else was a no-go). We had twenty or so trick-or-treaters at our house, and Cassie thought it was fun to watch them walk up the sidewalk from 
her spot in the window, but she was not interested in greeting up close or passing out candy. When they would leave, she'd say "What were those guys? Who was that?" I'm not sure she really understands the whole costume concept!Gavin spent the day in his warm, fuzzy monkey costume and did his best to gobble some treats. The closest he really got was a fistful of cheerios. Maybe next year, Gavin!
Both kids are fast asleep and Erik and I had take-out pizza for dinner. Such a fun day!
