Trickty-Treaty!

.

Laura (my little sister) and Trevin were so excited to start trick-or-treating that they couldn't hold still long enough to take a picture. This is the best we could get. Laura had been asking if it was time to go since eight o'clock in the morning. Trevin was a little confused when we put on his costume. He thought we were going to go to the store to buy candy to put in his bucket and he would start crying when we said we were going trick-or-treating. Finally I had to stop calling it trick-or-treating and say that we were just going to the neighbors house to see if they had any candy they would put in his bucket.

At first they were both really shy and didn't want to talk or look at anyone. At the second house we went to Sister Rodriguez, one of my favorite people from my home ward, opened the door and a little dog they were watching came running out. It was so excited that it started running circles around us and jumping around. Then, it bite Laura in the bum! She was dressed like a bunny and I think the dog was trying to play with her tail. After that any time they heard a dog barking they came running back to me and my mom crying and Laura would cry, "I can't do it mom. I can't do dogs. They might bit my bum!"

. They finally warmed up and started saying trick-or-treat. Well Laura did, Trevin would run in place and yell "Trickty Treaty!" Once he even added "smell my feet" at the end. At the end Laura didn't want to stop (she finally got the hang of it); in fact she asked my mom if I could just take her so that we wouldn't have to stop and talk at each house. But after a trip around the block Trevin was done. He couldn't wait any longer to eat his candy. When we got back to my parents house there were a few battles over the candy and over a random balloon but over all I think they had a great night! This morning Trevin refuses to eat anything but candy. I guess that makes it a good thing that he has almost eaten it all. Once it's gone maybe he'll eat some real food.

P.S. Trevin didn't understand the time change. So it looks like we'll be waking up an hour earlier from now on.
