WOW! I'm thinking this is a holiday that is going to mandate a half day @ work from here forward. Brooklyn was SO excited to get her Dora outfit on. Talk about a giddy school girl! Usually we'll tell her she's our 'silly willy' or something along those lines, & she'll respond with "No, I'm Brooklyn." Tonight, she was Dora MORPHED.
Everyone was rushing to get dressed-my mom, Mimi & the boys who just arrived from Dayton. Dylan wasn't overly excited about what was on his head, but once we got outside, he just started looking all around & forgot about it. By the way, for those who don't know what he is dressed as, it's Dora's best friend, Boots (a monkey).
Ok, so she totally got the concept of trick or treat this year, bouncing from one house to the next with her pumpkin bucket out & ready. Some let the kids pick what they wanted, Brooklyn sorted thru trying to find something pink! lol.
We made it all the way up to the house where the inflatable scooby doo was & back, which was about 30 homes. Came back, & Quinton was still handing out candy. I think the boys have more fun trying to scare kids than getting candy! Ended the night with ghost shaped individual meatloafs & warm cidar.
Most of the candy Brooklyn collected wasn't safe for her to eat so a "Halloween Fairy" traded her candy for a coloring book, movie & some safe candy. We went to a local dentist office that was participating in Operation Gratitude to donate the candy to troops overseas the next day. They gave the kids goody bags which had a new toothbrush, Halloween stamps, & a pair of silly mask/glasses. Overall, it was a fun night!
