Halloween x3

This year, the kids got to wear their Halloween costume, not once, not twice, but three times! And every time they put it on, they knew what was coming next –candy!
The first time they put their costume on, we went to Boo at the Zoo. Every year, the zoo invites businesses to come to the zoo to pass out candy. It’s a great opportunity for the businesses to promote their products, and a great opportunity for the zoo to bring in lots and lots of children accompanied by their parents. We got to put our brand new triple stroller to some good use that day. Fortunately, the kids are all in the row, so we fit everywhere any other stroller would. Unfortunately, the stroller brings us a lot of attention, so we got to visit each business only once. LOL Logan and Taylor had a blast, though, and they got to eat A LOT of candy while chilling in the stroller. In fact, this was the only time they did not fall asleep in the car on the ride back home from the zoo (sugar overload!) They both managed staying awake and mostly content until their bedtime that night.

The second time they put their costume on was for our ward’s Trunk-or-Treat (or Trick-or-Trunk, as they call it). I love them. It is the best way to get A LOT of candy in VERY LITTLE time. We were there for only 30-40 minutes, but Logan and Taylor got enough candy to last us through next Halloween (if I don't eat it all before then). The whole time that we were there, Logan and Taylor kept saying, “Treat? Treat? Treat?” No tricks for them, just treats, please. Thank you.

And the third time they put their costume on was when we went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. Logan and Taylor were excited about it all day. When Billy got home that night, he ate dinner in 5 minutes, and we were all out the door. It was a beautiful night. Logan and Taylor did well walking through the neighborhood. I think that the motivation to get candy and eating the candy kept them going.

Logan and Taylor totally got the concept of trick-or-treating this year, and I cannot wait until we can do it all over again next year. I also really want to know what they’ll want to dress up as, since they’ll probably have an opinion about that next year. I got to dress them up according to what I thought was cute for 3 Halloweens, but I have a feeling this was my last one… Oh well, I'll still get to dress up Kendall!!!
