Our First COLD Halloween

Blake decided he was too old for trick-or-treating again this year, so Ashlyn and I went out and the boys stayed home to hand out candy.  We've never had to bundle up for trick-or-treating and have always ended up sweaty by the end...Ashlyn was NOT very happy when I told her she had to wear leggings and a shirt under her dress, not to mention gloves.
 Our neighborhood is ALOT smaller so we only had about 10 kids come to our door and barely made a dent in the stash we bought to hand out...Blake wasn't too sad about that though.
 Just as when we were kids, Ashlyn got a kick out of ringing our own doorbell before calling it a night.  She thought she was soooo sneaky, Blake was clearly annoyed though when he answered the door.
And as always it's a toss up as to which is more fun...collecting the candy or sorting through it at the end of the night.  Since we had such a small number of kids knock on the door this year, Rick said we need to hand out full candy bars next year...who's coming to our house??

For a second I forgot Rick was an optometrist and thought he was a dentist and I thought, a dentist handing out full-sized candy bars?! But for an eye doctor that is perfectly fine! :)
