Trick or Treat!

Our town had their trick-or-treating last night, of course today it is nice and sunny outside. Last night it was drizzly, windy and chilly! But that is what you get when you live in Iowa, you never know what the weather will be. The kiddos and parents still had a lot of fun, tho!
Stella in her purple witch costume next to her pumpkin. Porter as Batman next to his pumpkin.

Each year we head to Mark and Ken's house to T-O-T there! The kids were so excited in the car on the way there. Batman was ready for some candy!
So was the friendly witch!

Last year we were in short sleeves and pulled the kids in a wagon. This year we were in coats and the kids didn't want to wear coats over their costumes, so they were in the double stroller with a blanket over them. They'd hop out of the stroller, run to a door, fight over who got to ring the doorbell, go their tricks, grab some candy, say Thank-You, run back to the stroller and get covered back up.....repeat at the next house! :)

Porter looks so cute as Batman! I love Stelli's costume, too! Halloween has the weirdest weather, it was 80 & Humid here & of course Ian's costume was practically a snow suit! You never know!

Great pics! Love the upclose one of Batman in the car. Man, I wish someone would push me around in a nice, cozy stroller while I get free candy!! That's the life right there!

If I remember right, Halloween in IA was always cold and yucky! The kids look adorable in their costumes. I love that little witch costume. Cady picked a plain black witch costume???Not sure where that came from.
