We had a wonderful Halloween. It was fun to watch the excitement on our kids faces and they put their costumes on and held tightly to the bag that would hold the mass amounts of candy they would receive in a matter of minutes. However, it didn't quite turn out as I expected. Most children run from house to house as fast as they can on Halloween night. Basic logic tells us that the more houses you go to the more candy you will receive. Right??? Madison understood this very well and loved knocking on doors, saying trick-or-treat and holding out her bag to receive candy. Kiley on the other hand was a different story. She lasted 10 houses and then said she was ready to go home. She said she had enough candy and wanted to go home to pass out candy to the other children. I was shocked! Madison of course wasn't finished with her candy collecting so Kiley, Sophie, and I went home while Anders took Madison around our neighborhood. I have never seen someone so excited to pass out candy. Kiley got more and more comfortable as the night went on. By the time the last visitor came to our door, Kiley was a pro. I sat on the couch and watched Kiley work her magic. It went something like this:
(knock, knock)
(Kiley opens the door with one hand while balancing the bowl of candy in the other hand)
Kids: Trick or Treat
(Kiley proceeds to place 1 piece of candy in each bag)
Kids: Thank you
Kiley: Your welcome. Happy Halloween! (shutting the door with a huge smile on her face).
Kiley taught me a great lesson. Sometimes giving is truly greater then receiving!

Looks like a fantastic Halloween. The girls looked very cute in their costumes. Does Heather Bear (I don't know her new last name) have a blog?
