Gathering the Treats...Avoiding the Tricks!

Emily went out gathering her treats dressed as Laura Ingalls Wilder....complete with a basket and the book that she is currently reading! Just as Laura did, Emily most often had her bonnet slung off her head and hanging down her back. When Terry and I asked her to put it back on, she said "But Laura never liked to wear her sun bonnet either!". Hmmmm - how do you argue with THAT logic?!

Erin was dressed as Mary Ingalls...complete with the basket to collect her goodies in! She dressed in her outfit for the school's party as well. Both Erin and Emily were shocked at how many of their classmates didn't know who Mary and Laura were!!

Trevor decided at the last minute that he would attempt to go collecting the goodies despite suffering from an asthma "episode". The picture sort of shows just how miserable he was feeling. No matter how terrible he felt, he still enjoyed walking around town with one of his best friends.....an alien!!!

The alien even posed for a picture with Karate Kid, Laura Ingalls and Mary Ingalls!! The dressing up portion of Trick-or-Treating is (almost) the most fun....for me as the parent!!
