As I mentioned before Ellie insisted we all dress up as characters from the Wizard of Oz for Halloween. She assigned me to be the Tin Man and Ryan the Scarecrow. As hesitant, and if I am honest a little embarrassed, as we were they were more excited about us dressing up than themselves! Totally worth it to see the joy and excitement on their faces!
They wouldn't cooperate for a picture, but were willing to hug and high five haha!
Some of my trick or treating partners in crime!
You know those moments you anticipate and build up in your head only to be disappointed? Well this was not one of those moments! We had an absolutely BLAST! We went from house to house and wore those kids out! They didn't even eat a piece of candy until we got home and dumped it all out and let them pick one. Graham was in his element and would only call me Tin Man all night. He was overwhelmed with excitement from it all. Ellie took trick or treating a little more seriously, but I was so proud she just stayed focus and was so brave walking up to strangers houses and used her manners and said please and thank you. She even encounters several dogs and she did not cry (this is huge for her since she is terrified of dogs!).

Between houses the twinkies would either jump in the stroller real quick or hold my hands and sing "Follow the yellow brick road".
We have already started talking about what to dress up as next year! Can't wait! Hope you all had a fun Halloween with lots of treats!
Just want to say Hi!
