Trick or Treat

The day they've been waiting for finally came, Halloween. All week long the kids have been trying to behave so they could have their night prowling the town scoring some loot. Deli Dude dressed as a football player, Bookworm a bride, Cheeseburger Boy of course a race car driver, Super Why was Thomas the train and The Babe with the Power was a chili pepper.It was really funny to watch Super Why, he understood it better this year, he knew he was suppose to walk up to the door and say trick or treat and the people would give him candy, but being the youngest one walking around he was slower than the rest, by the time he would reach the foot of the stairs at each house the older kids would be coming back down so he would turn around, sigh and start to walk back to us. We kept telling him it was ok, that he could still go up and get his candy, he refused at the first few houses, once we took him by the hand and brought him up he was fine, then there was no stopping him. The kids all started out at full steam, racing house to house (Cheeseburger Boy was making the noise of an engine revving while he was racing around), after about 45 minutes the sprints had slowed to a walk and after about an hour and a half the walk slowed to dragging feet and cries of "I need to go potty." After we got back to the house and they started checking their bags they began coming back to life, it was as if they absorbed the sugar through their finger tips, kids who were just minutes before completely drained suddenly had so much energy that they were running, jumping, wrestling and practically flying through the air. The only one who didn't go crazy with all of the Halloween hoopla was The Babe with the Power, as you see in the picture, he wasn't all that impressed so he decided to take a nap. Ah, the magic of Halloween!
