We spent Halloween night in typical fashion, with a cul-de-sac party followed up by some neighborhood trick or treating. The turnover in our neighborhood lately means that most of our neighbors have kids and are out in the cul-de-sac, but it still leaves 8-10 houses with people handing out candy, which is perfect for the 4 year old and under crowd. Brennan was ready to get carried after 5 houses. And despite the exact same number of houses visited, he somehow ended up with more candy than Audrey. His strategy of standing by the front door as long as possible must have proven effective - people were willing to just give him more candy so that he would go away (and in one instance, get out of the doorway and back into the front porch).
Both of the kids loved their costumes, although next year we'll have to remember to buy one for Brennan that is at least 1T bigger than he is. We went with the 2T this year, but if we had waited another week he wouldn't have fit in it. Thankfully it's getting dark early enough that he was able to avoid any ridicule resulting from his wet diaper bulge, caused mostly by a severely high crotched jump suit. Unfortunately, that doesn't prevent it from being eternally memorialized via camera flash...
