How hard it is to get a good photo...

We had several families come over for a bite to eat and trick-or-treating as a group. It's so entertaining to me watching these sweet kids "do what kids do" as the grown ups tried earnestly to get a picture. Of course, as expected...there's not one where all of the children are even remotely cooperative...they're adorable just the same ;-)

Baby T and baby C were opposed from the start...



Already lost one...Lucy can't figure out where to put her feet so she doesn't bump C...



Jack: my confused puppy...


Okay, a few of the kids are smiling/happy, but K's face is priceless...she is not amused...



J is all smiles, but we're loosing C. and Jack...



this was the best one of the bunch...


What fun!

So, we headed out after this "photo session," and the kids did great trick or treating! Lucy and Audrey literally ran from house to house, leading our large pack.

Jack totally took to the whole process, smiling and saying "tstrick or treeet" and promptly adding "tdank dyou" after he was given (way too much) candy. But the third or fourth house, he began just barging on in as soon as the door opened, helping himself into various foyers, and plunging his hand into the candy bowl.

Of course, everyone thought this was hilarious, and allowed him to grab handfuls of candy. So, I became really quick at grabbing candy out of his bag, and returning it to the bowl. Generosity of the kind folks much appreciated, but seriously, he's not even two - he doesn't need all that candy! ;-)

Lucy never tired, and Jack was ready to stop about 30 minutes into our stroll around the neighborhood.

I think Skittles was the most popular candy, but the low point of rummaging through my kids' bags was when I realized there were no Mounds or Almond Joys to be found. So sad... ;-)
