While we count down to Halloween (and the girls slowly get over their sickness) I shared some photos with the girls of their three trick or treating experiences. Our first year we didn’t really do anything because they were neither able to eat candy due to their lack of teeth and they were nearly half asleep by the time anyone started turning on their porch lights. The girls were “ballerina princesses” which consisted of a pink tutu and crown headband. I just didn’t seeing paying more than two dollars for a costume that they would only wear for maybe an hour. We went to visit our Nana and Papa and then the people in my Mom’s neighborhood rented out the pool house and hosted a little Halloween part with food and music so we slid up there for a little while. We ran into an old friend of mine from both school and work and her son who is the same age at the girls. It was nice to see her and the girls thought her son looked hilarious in his monkey costume and then we all went home and went to bed.

For our second Halloween we went with Aunt Tes, Uncle James and PJ trick-or-treating as a flower fairy and a bumble bee. They had an absolute blast and ran from house to house saying “Twip O’ Tweep!” I wasn’t sure that they would truly understand how how Halloween worked but it really clicked with them and they did an awesome job. We met another set of twins our on the sidewalk who were dressed as Thing 1 and Thing 2 which was adorable.

Last year the girls went with their Daddy trick or treating. I went along as well but I did my best to stay in the background and let them have this special time with their Dad. They got to go on a hay ride when Papa drove the tractor with the trailer behind it since where they went treating there were some spots that were a little too far to walk. The girls also got to bring along their skull flashlights which they thought were super cool and super scary.

Halloween is closing in on us and we are excited to go again. Now I just have to decide where we want to go. Our house is in a very rural area and between houses is a huge walk so it’s not practical to try and trick or treat and no one in my Mom’s neighborhood hands out candy anymore so we have three choices that I have to pick from and it’s a tough decision.
