Halloween night was dampened (literally) by the seemingly never-ending rain, but we managed to squeeze some good times out of it anyway. Right after Anna put on her precious Tinkerbell costume, it started pouring. So, we decided to ride over to Aunt Erin's and visit. When we got back it had stopped raining and was starting to get dark. Anna and I headed off to trick-or-treat while Will manned the fort at the house with Miller.
The first house we went to was across the street where our babysitter, Eileen, lives. While her mom was holding the door to reach for the candy bowl, Anna just paraded right inside. I was mortified! At least it was someone we knew and not a complete stranger.:) Then, it was like a light bulb went off inside her head and she remembered the end result of this trick-or-treating thing. Soon, she was saying, "Let's go to that house" and that one and that one and that one...
The funniest part of the whole night was when a group of older kids walked by and one of them said, "Look, there's Tinkerbell!" Anna whipped around to me and asked, "What did he say?" I explained to her that he knew that she was Tinkerbell because of her costume. For the next 5 minutes, she kept repeating, "He knows I'm Tinkerbell!" over and over. It was so cute!
The rain kept quite a few of our normal trick-or-treaters away, so we have A LOT of left over candy. Will is not too upset about it.....but just wait until that next dentist appointment, honey!
