Halloween 2008

Trick or treating. Sounds easy enough.  Unless you are Darren and Cordon.  First of all I thought that Candy was the highlight of the whole experience.  Nope.  They were all about the doorbells.  It started with the first house, Darren got to the doorbell first so he got to ring it.

From then on it was all out war at each house.  I am so sorry to those that answered the door to which Cordon did not ring the bell.  After the door was answered my indecisive little Darren took forever to pick out his treat ( he should not be given options).  My little Cordon knows exactly what he wants, picks it out but then has to sit down and eat it before we can go on to the next house.  Needless to say the 10 houses we went to took us about 45 min.  And yes, Lance was working so I was the ringmaster in that circus.  The absolute highlight of the evening for both of them was actually handing out the candy.  Darren was sooo excited to do this and if their was a lull in the action he would take his bowl of candy and chase down the trick or treaters on the sidewalk. We ran out of Candy early because Cordon would get upset ( irate actually) if the trick or treaters would take a candy out of Darren's bowl and not his. So most kids (and some grown ups? really?) got more because Cordon would unleash his wrath on any one who rejected his bowl for Darren's.  All in all it was fun and we still had the Barker Halloween Party to look foward to. Stay tuned for those pics coming soon.
