Tonight was a ton of fun. We had Ma and Papa over for dinner, and we sat down for a nice meal. After dinner, we played a bit and then headed out to the front porch to put on costumes. The boys were both very excited to get into costume and roar like a dragon (???) We were dressed a little early, so then they ran around the yard and played on iPhones for a bit. As soon as it was a little dark, we were off!
First we went to Debbie and Johnny's house...where Austin learned how to trick or treat for the first time. He was a little confused why Gavin was running up to the door and then running back. So Austin slowly walked up and then decided to pick about 5 pieces of candy. He brought them all back to me and wanted to eat each one! After trying to explain we could not eat ALL the candy, he was mad. Only wanted to eat what he had. So after about 5 houses, he gave up on it. He then wanted Daddy to carry him so he could slowly eat more candy. Gavin? He was off. Hitting up all the houses that he could. We did 2 blocks and then he decided that he was done. He said he was ready to go home to see what he got. Perfect! Saw all our neighbors and walked a few blocks!
We had talked about the "plans" for Halloween for weeks. Gavin could decide what candy he wanted to eat, and when, but the limit was 3 pieces. So at school in the morning he got candy from a friend and wanted a piece. He asked me "Mama, if I eat this, does it count as the HALLOWEEN candy????" Hahaha. Of course he got to eat some then, and then after the haunted house he had some. We didn't count those:) Gavin picked out the biggest 3 candies he could, and went to town. So did Austin.
About 20 minutes later? WILD kids. Took a bath and they were running around the house naked. Completely wild! Sugar rush gone crazy.
Finally at 8:30 Gavin was asleep, and Austin continued to fuss until 9:30. Too much sugar!
