Two little firefighters went out last night to collect their sweet toothed parents some loot. We don't let them eat very much candy...not even on Halloween- it isn't worth weak immune systems, blood sugar crashes and a few days of altered behavior. So we make up bags of "treats" for them when they come home. They were thrilled to unwrap their bags with craft items, balloons, raisins, popcorn and fruit leather. They just like the experience of running from house to house...they don't care what goes into the bag.
Jon and I on the other hand got the annual stomach ache of course.
Jake didn't master the "trick or treat" but bashfully said "Boo" at each house. He went to half the houses as the bigger kids...but got twice the candy... a shy flirty eyed "boo" seems to be the Halloween secret (add some bow legged running and a handsome firefighters hat and you have the whole package for bonus Kit Kats...)
Ben had a lot of fun, a few of the older kids complimented his costume and he politely told them that it wasn't his costume, it was his uniform. Gramma brought them over some fire fighter rain boots to complete their costumes and I guess that made it an official uniform.
