I couldn't narrow down the Halloween photos. This year was the first year we actually trick or treated our own neighborhood! And Rhettsy was by far the most brave. He figured out the deal really quick and not even a barking dog was going to keep him from the chocolate!
After we hit the neighbors, we went on to the trunk or treat at the church. I have to say, it's an easy way for the kids to score a ton of candy, which they love. But I hate how quick it goes and also how many strangers there are there. I just liked it better when I felt like I knew all the kids. It's nice that the church is providing a safe place for the community to come on Halloween. It's just so impersonal now. I wish we could boycott altogether and make our kids work for their sugar! Like the old days, with pillowcases as bags, running from house to house so you can get the maximum candy before it's time to go home!
We were supposed to be the Wizard of Oz but Rhett refused to wear the Tin Man costume (as seen here) which meant I wouldn't bust out my Dorothy and Brandon wouldn't don the scarecrow. So, here we were.
