Austin is out of town for a work leadership training in Michigan this week, so he missed out on trick-or-treating and my dad came with us instead. I was going to email the pictures to him, but figured since I had to do a blog post eventually, I might as well just put them up here first and he can see them this way. The boys were really excited for Heidi to be a care bear for Halloween even though I had pretty much convinced them to be Max and a wild thing from Where the Wild Things Are (I already have the Max costume). But once they saw Heidi's costume they decided that they also wanted to be care bears and so we got a matching set :) Introducing Lucky Bear, Tender Heart Bear, and Sleepy Bear:
Trick-or-treating was extremely exciting at first- the boys ran to
every house for about the first 1/2 hour, then they started slowing down
a bit, and by the end Leif just wanted to ride in the stroller and get
home (Heidi rode the whole way since she is too little to go up
everyone's stairs and doesn't eat candy anyway) and Asher ended up
knocking on the last few doors by himself (our neighbors that knew he
has a brother gave him extra candy for Leif).
They were so excited to get home and dump all their candy into a big
pile and check out what they got. Heidi was excited to dig through it
too and just play with it. She was not happy that I put her to bed soon
after getting home, but she sure was tired.
