On Halloween day, I picked Logan up at end of school day and we played a couple games of chess where he beat me in both.  Then I went to pick up Connor much earlier than usual.  We had an early dinner as well so we could get ready for the most anticipated trick or treating.  The boys got into the ninjas costumes and we took a few pictures at the front door.  Luckily the rain had stopped.  It was not completely dark yet by then, however we had a family trick or treat at our house, so we decided to begin our fun outing too.  Logan, Connor and I took off while Stuart stayed home to pass out candy.  We went to our next door neighbor first and the boys were delighted to receive a giant candy bar each where they had specially prepared for them.  The boys were motivated to walk along the houses, even if we had to climb up multiple steps.  They rushed to get to the front doors and took turns ringing the doorbells.  They said “Trick or Treat” and “Happy Halloween” sometimes, and they followed by “Thank you”.  We had to rush back home in less than half an hour as Connor needed the potty.  He quickly got ready again and could not wait to get back out; Logan had considered staying home, but agreed to go with us.  We hit the opposite direction and collected more candies.  We also saw some houses with cool decorations and some that made the boys a bit nervous too.  After an hour total, Logan was done and was happy to be home, but Connor was not finished and wanted me to take him out a little bit longer.  By then, the rain started to come down gently.  Connor and I made another block before returning home for good.  Logan had been helping Stuart passing out candies and enjoyed one of his candies too.  As soon as we were home, Connor could not wait to pass out candies.  He basically was in charge giving out candies the remaining hour until our last trick or treater at close to 9pm. 

     Halloween was finally over.  We kept reminding Connor with that at bedtime so he could have a closure.  It was definitely a fun one this year.
