We kept our tradition of heading out to my parents for Halloween.
They have the perfect neighborhood for trick-or-treating. It's the perfect distance for little legs and it's in an oval so you start and end at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Plus, almost everyone is home and are people I know so I feel safe there.
Lincoln did great-he'd been trained by me weeks before and he knew just what to do.
He handled it all great, except for one little incident of being frightened by Super Mario.
Gwen also handled it great- she just stayed in her stroller and looked cute.
One highlight of the evening occurred when Zach was distracted admiring a washing machine costume and tripped over a step. He ended up doing a neat little back-tuck roll. It was very graceful.
I have to laugh at one of the pictures of Lincoln in his costume.
He and Gwen were the tortoise and the hare. The night before Halloween, I took them both to a Halloween themed birthday party and one of the party favors was a light-up sword. I figured it would work great for trick-or-treating in keeping him visible and he loves the thing so I knew he wouldn't let it go. Well, when I had him all dressed and ready to go my sister asked if he was a teenage-mutant ninja turtle. Well...that wasn't the intent-but you see the outcome.

Cute costumes!! I love Halloween. Our ward does a trunk or treat, so we know everyone and each kid gets a bucket full of candy.
Ha, I totally thought he was a ninja turtle too! The tortoise and the hare is SUCH a cute idea. The ears are adorable.
Also, your parents' house looks awesome. They always decorate so well. I love the eyes in the window.
