After that, we got all dressed up in our trick-or-treating attire so we could head out and gather up some candy!The football player. (Not very original! But, very easy!)
And with his game face showing!
Sleeping Beauty (Her hair was a little out of whack in this picture!)
And one of her fairy godmothers, Merryweather.
Unfortunately, as soon as we were all dressed up and ready to go out, it started to rain.
So we stood on the porch for a few minutes trying to decide what to do. Pretty soon that rain turned into hail and our decision was made for us! The girls went right back inside and started watching a movie until the bad weather passed!
Cole, Mason, and some of Mason's friends escaped and went trick-or-treating in the crazy weather anyway. Thankfully, Cole had on his helmet to protect him from the rain and hail!
Eventually the rain and hail subsided and the girls got dressed back up and headed out, again!
Addy had a ball. Every time we got to a new house, she would say, "More candy!" and rush to the front. She did not let the bigger kids get in her way. When she saw the candy come out, she was pushing her way in to make sure she didn't get forgotten!
At the first few houses, Addy couldn't figure out how to get her candy from her hand into her bucket. The problem was, she was holding the candy in the hand of the arm that had the bucket resting on it. She couldn't quite bend her elbow enough to drop it in the bucket. After she got tired of me laughing at her, she finally figured out she either had to put her bucket down first or put her candy in the other hand. At least she figured it out eventually!
The fun didn't last very long however, after about 5 houses, Emily decided she was cold and Addy decided she needed to be carried! (Addy's was probably necessary because her dress was a little big and a little long!) So, in the end the girls didn't end up trick-or-treating to too many houses. But, they did have a good time and got plenty of candy!
After we had hit all of the necessary houses, and frozen Emily out, we headed home to sample some of our treats,
and for a nice cuddle with Daddy!
Long after the girls had fallen asleep (trick-or-treating does wear you out!), Cole finally made it back to our house with Mason and his buddies. I'm pretty sure trick-or-treating with the little kids will never suffice for him any more. They went to more houses than I can count, came home with more candy than one child needs, and made Cole feel like a million bucks because he got to hang out with the big boys! They even taught him how to trade candy when they were all done.
Cole had so much candy that he had to sort it all out so he could see what he actually came home with! 
Chad and I did not want to be left out, so Chad tracked down these costumes for us! Thankfully Colton wasn't there to see me wear the outfit of their rivals!
See, I'm still flexible in my old age!
Hope you all had a Happy Halloween too!
