Tonight was our second Halloween in the US and the boys were excited! Throughout dinner Toby kept asking if we could go trick or treating yet. Over and over again! Come 6:30pm and the witching hour was upon us. Fortunately, after raining for most of the day, the weather brightened, the clouds went and the moon and stars came out.
Armed with pumpkin candy collecting buckets it was time for Pikachu, Ninja Boy, Pretty Pumpkin and a Whoopee Cushion to hit the streets:
I have to admit that the pretty posing pumpkin was my favorite:
Just like last year the boys were soon into it – dashing up and down driveways, knocking on everyones door. We think that you’re only meant to knock on doors that have some sort of pumpkin outside but Toby and Harry ignored that and knocked on every door that had a light on!
An hour and a half later, with buckets of candy and so full and heavy that they could barely walk we left their school friends and went back home. Pleased with their collections, they soon set about ripping into them.
What are the odds on some cries of “I feel sick” before the night it out!?
