The boys were so excited about trick or treating that they actually ate dinner relatively fast.  We tried to go outside as soon as it got dark and before the rain started.  But once we stepped outside, we realized the weather had changed and it was no longer as cold or gloomy.  The boys were walking slowly initially as they were not sure what to expect and they were sad that daddy had to stay home to pass out candies.  Our street was not too decorated and some houses were dark.  We walked to the first house, and both boys stayed far away from the doorway.  Logan asked me to ring the doorbell while they both waited a bit anxiously.  When the neighbor opened the door, Logan said “trick or treat” nicely and went up to receive the treat.  Connor followed the lead, and they both thanked the person on their own.  After the excitement of the first candy in their buckets, they both became energized, starting to walk faster and asking for more trick or treating.  I rang the doorbell at a couple more houses until Logan felt comfortable and be the first one to do that the rest of the times.  They both learned the etiquette of trick or treating by then, and Logan would occasionally add “Happy Halloween” and Connor would add a smile along with a loud “Bye” after thanking the neighbors.  Logan was quite chatty; a couple of times he was saying “We will get more candies at this house, then we will stop and eat one.  Hmm..they smell so good!”  Both of them were so into the fun that they kept wanting to walk further down the street as we saw more Halloween lightings down that way.  We had walked a block and a half before I finally turned us around.  We trick or treated at a few more houses, then the boys started to show some tiredness.  They complained that the buckets were heavy, but I was surprised that Connor did not ask for me to carry him at all.  We finally made it home after an hour or at least 15 houses.  The boys were proud to show their treats to daddy, and were happy to pick out the one to eat with some milk.  They also enjoyed passing out candy to a couple groups of trick or treaters as well.
