Happy Halloween!!

This is a picture of Caiden and his friend Ian at their Halloween party for preschool. Aren't they adorable?? (Caiden is the Ninja Turtle).
We had a great Halloween! The kids had a lot of fun. Caiden was a Ninja Turtle (Rafael, to be exact) and Paige was Elmo. I was a little worried because it had been raining all day, but we got lucky when it came time to go trick-or-treating. Caiden was so excited to go, and Paige (only 2) was not totally aware of what was in store. She was, however, aware of everyone talking about candy and that definitely had her attention. While they were putting their costumes on and getting ready to go, we had a few trick-or-treaters come to the door. When Paige saw that the candy in the bowl was for them, she was not happy! We finally got her ready and out the door, but she wasn't completely happy until we got some candy. Then we, LITERALLY, could not keep up with her. Casey and I have never seen her little legs move so fast!! She was walking faster than all of us. It was so hilarious!!

We would ask Paige if she wanted to ride in the wagon and she would say "No! Can't!" and then continue SPEED walking. That girl is definitely motivated by food and candy!

The first door we went to Paige just helped herself and grabbed what she wanted out of the bowl. And at the second door, she tried to walk into their house. I had to keep telling her to let them give out the candy.

Above is a picture of Paige leading the way. She could even keep up with Casey at full stride, (which sometimes I can't even do!)

After we trick-or-treated in our neighborhood, we decided to go visit Grandma and Grandpa. On the way over, Caiden fell asleep and the sucker even fell out of his mouth. He was so worn out!

At home they finally checked out what candy they got. (And I have to admit I also was checking out what candy they got too.)
