Trick or Treating

The girls were so excited to trick-or-treat we could hardly get them to sit for this picture Our next door neighbors were our first stop and it was successful but then we had about 5 houses before the girls got another treat. The next successful stop was a kind old woman who wasn’t prepared for trick-or-treaters but managed to scrounge up a half eaten bag of chocolate which they gladly accepted and ate immediately. We had so many houses where no one answered that Alice started going up to houses, knocking once and then turning around saying “Awwww” and making this face I think we just started too early and we seem to live one block above where all the action is. Once we crossed Mercer the girls started getting candy. One house had the grim reaper handing out candy and Alice declined to go near the candy bowl. When the Grim Reaper held out a pack of M&Ms she just said “uh uh” from a safe distance. Smart girl. Norah stayed in character throughout the night and told this inflated cat “Pooh pooh, I’m not scared of you!”
