This evening, we went trick or treating (actually, all treating) with William's friend Lindsay and her mom Tracy (friends from my time in FL). These pictures are of all the children waiting for the action. Do you think I could have gotten a picture of W and L together?--Yeah right, they are constant motion next to each other. However, W will stand perfectly straight and still taking a picture next to his friend--go figure. L is a lady bug--she had an antennae headband and a ladybug wand, but she absolutely refuses to wear anything on her head and depending on her mood will act like you are ruining her life if you insist on any type of head piece--so, no headband. W is a modified speed racer driving his race car. He has been wearing his helmet, almost everywhere, for about 2 weeks now. Lindsay is a jellyfish--fabulously crafted by her mom. While we were waiting to go, L so delicately beheaded the scarecrow in their yard and stole the witches broom. Poor Lindsay worked diligently to replace the scarecrows head. Lauren also spent some time dancing, you will see a video next. The backwards stepping is her signature move.

Trick or Treating
L, W, and Lindsay went to several doors. Lauren wanted to go into everyone's house. I think she thought if they are going to give her candy she was going to stay!
This house was funny. That mummy in the background lit up and made spooky sounds. W could not take is eyes of the thing, not even to walk down the stairs--he nearly fell on every step.
Oh, the world is my stage--according to L. She did not want to leave this porch. It was the perfect location for her monologue.
W was always lacking about an inch to reach the doorbell and his knock was just not loud enough. So, he had to rely on Lindsay (who is a year older and has that extra inch) to ring the bell.
by the end of the evening, W was in the stroller and L was walking. W declared that he had "plenty of candy" and was "ready to go back to Lindsay's house". L was more than happy to walk and what big girl carrying her treat bag.
After Trick or Treating
W wanted to taste all of his candy. He wanted to open one piece, lick it or take a bite out of it, then move on to the next piece
Poor L. She was so made that this bag of gummies wasn't getting opened fast enough. All was well after I opened it for her.
