October 31st

After Ezra woke up from his nap on Halloween, GG (Lori) stopped by with goodies for the hobbit! All dressed in costume, he said trick-or-treat to get each treat she had for him...so sweet!




Our pack of trick-or-treaters (West, Roslyn, Ezra and Owen)...


Ezra also wanted a personal photo shoot...


Stephanie and baby Otto!


Oh, I just love these little hobbits of ours!!




We started the evening out with a potluck and a hay ride, followed by trick-or-treating. Trick-or-treating started out pretty rough. The very first house we went to, Ezra and Owen walked up and knocked on the door quite bravely. The man answered the door wearing a wolf mask and let out a scream. Ezra stood there totally frozen. I think the man felt bad that it was two toddlers (perhaps he was expecting to scare teenagers?) so he took off the mask, which really scared Ezra. He let out this terrified scream, I mean, the guy had 2 heads for all Ezra could tell...so scary, so sad. After that Ezra, wasn't too into going up to houses, so we would carry him, and then slowly he would warm up and get down to get some candy. And of course after the person would put one piece in his bucket, he would look up and say, "mo" (more). :) Owen on the other hand, was totally comfortable with going up to houses of strangers. In fact, after the person would give him candy, he would just walk past them and into their house as if he were there to stay for a while. :)



Ezra was trying to eat all of the candy through the wrappers. I gave him a tootsie roll to eat, and it got totally stuck to the roof of his mouth.




Hobbit hugs and kisses!
