Halloween

Trick or Treating with the kids was so much fun this year! Because Carter had a little practice going trick or treating before Halloween, he kind of understood what he needed to do in order to get candy. When we went around our neighborhood on Halloween, he would see a light on and would go up to the house and try to knock or ring the doorbell. When the people giving out the candy would try to just put the candy in Carter's pumpkin, he wouldn't let them because he wanted to put the candy in himself. At one point, a lady had a handful of candy, and Carter took about 5 minutes taking candy out of her hand piece by piece! As far as saying Trick or Treat -- Carter would just say "treat!" I guess he knew what he wanted so he just left off that first part! Madilyn loved being outside (of course) and even went up to several doors to get candy. Since we all love Batman so much, we all wore our Batman shirts and were a Bat family for Halloween!
