Trick or Treat

This Halloween was the second Halloween that the girls got to go out and trick-or-treat. Last Halloween the girls had a difficult time remembering to say the magical phrase, but tonight they did say, "Trick or treat" from time to time. On at least one occasion, Diana repeated "Trick or treat" while walking away from a home we had just solicited, but both girls did really well and looked really cute.

The first home we visited was that of a good friend of grandma's. As soon as the door was open, the girls were invited inside for candy and photographs and small talk. When we reached the second home the girls demonstrated what they had learned about the holiday by ringing the doorbell and walking directly inside a neighborhood home as soon as the door was answered. Daddy rushed after the children, and everyone had a good laugh. However, I guess this just goes to show why young children aren't allowed to go out trick-or-treating without their parents.
