Trunk or Treat!

We took the kiddos to their first (and probably only) Halloween event for the year.  Just too busy & too young to do much else.  This was a trunk-or-treat event at our church.  There was quite a good turn out of kids & trunks!  We came home with a pretty good stash.

When they know we are going "bye-bye" its quite difficult to get pictures.  So this is the best I could get of them in costume before... and I don't have one of Logan.  Busy bodies!  They are all Elmo this year!

 {Still need to get her glasses fixed from Monday!  Its not an easy fix kind of break though.}

Heading to the "white vana" {as Livi would call the van} to head to church.  We've been working on colors & she has quite a few of them down.

It took them a few trunks to figure out what was going on.  They wanted to immediately stop & open the first few things we got.  But they got the hang of hoarding their loot pretty quick.  We weren't able to get any of the kids to say "trick-or-treat."  And they were so in awe of all the people, costumes & decorated car trunks, we really weren't able to get them to say please or thank you either.  Logan just said "MORE!  MORE!"  {Nice, huh?}  And towards the end Hayden waved & said "bye-bye" to every trunk we visited.

It was a cool evening, so we were glad our costumes were warm!  The kids even wore little gloves (& actually kept them on!  Though we lost one of Liv's somewhere in the van on the ride home.)  They quite enjoyed looking through their little bags of treasures; candy, pencils, glow sticks, bubbles.  They did a good job reaching into bowls of treats & just picking ONE thing (which is hard to do with gloves on little fingers let alone understand that concept at the age of not-quite-2!)  Hayden even sometimes dug through the bowl looking for just the right treat to pick.

There were alot of people & they had the trunks arranged so that you just followed a path around.  So they just stayed in their wagon seats & it worked out just fine!  One little boy came up & asked if their costume was "The Elmo Train," I guess he was 100% right!

 Checking out their loot.  Good view of their Elmo hats GG made for us!

We hope you all have a fantastic, spooky & safe Halloween!
