More Candy!!!

Last night we carved our pumpkins to decorate our front porch for the trick or treaters...I think they turned out pretty good, and Annie only almost caught herself on fire just that one time when we were lighting them up so that was a plus too! Soon after 6 we headed out with the intentions of only going to the neighbors that we know pretty well but we were only two houses in when we ran into Annie's girlfriends, Abby and Zoe, so we hit the whole block with them. Fun fun fun! Annie and the girls kept taking turns ringing the door bells (they all took turns at the same house, but at least they were taking turns!) We also noticed that the girls didn't quite understand that you are supposed to leave the house after they give you candy, and usually you should only take one candy if they let you pick one out yourself. There was also one house where Annie led all the girls around the back, apparently she thought that was the way to go...silly flower! Olivia fell asleep about 10 houses in and after a while Annie's bag was getting heavy and she was having a hard time keeping up with the other girls, but I think everyone had a great time including the adults who got to catch up on all the latest neighborhood gossip. Annie got some good candy (or should I say Tim and I did, because there is no way we're going to let her eat it all herself). Today I asked her if she would trade it for the chance to pick out a new toy from the toy store and without even thinking about it she agreed. Not sure if she understood all the details of the deal, but she must have figured it couldn't be turned down since there was a toy involved. So tomorrow we ceremoniously dump the candy in the "trash" and head out to the toy store.
