trick or treat.
trick or treat.
Sunday, October 31, 2010
This was Judah, Amelie and their cousin Lina’s first time trick or treating. I’m not sure who had more fun: the grown-ups raiding a thrift store and cutting up cardboard and aluminum foil to make them into three wily pirates, or the kiddos once they learned what the phrase “trick or treat!” produces.
I think these three would have been utterly thrilled with their first little bag of candy, but there were more doorbells to ring and more neighbors to meet. They loved the chilly evening walk. They loved being oohed and ahhed over. They loved telling people what a pirate says: “Argh!” And, they especially loved the candy.
Afterwards, back at the house, Judah helped pass out candy to trick or treaters. He inspected every costume, oversaw candy being passed out, and at the end called out, “Bye guys! Have fun!” The perfect host.
