Again Rose was upset getting in her costume. Mike gave her a chocolate to tempt her, which worked.
They went around to 10 or so houses on our street, and had to come home halfway through to unload.
Mike brought them home when they looked cold and had a lot of candy but Paige wanted me to take her to a few houses too.
I tried to leave with just Paige but Rose freaked out so I put her in the stroller as we were going to the other side of the crescent. I think I should have gone as Rapunzel for Halloween. I see how long my hair is in this photo. Rose sucked on a lollipop and just came along for the ride. I didn't take her up to any houses.
We weren't left with much in the end, and I had raided their round 1 for the "crap candy" that I could redistribute to the older kids. I had playdough and chocolate for the little ones and chips for the bigger kids.
At the end of the night the girls came in to look at the candy and share some chips. By this point Rose was right into it and said "More....chips!!" She thought she could have as much as she wanted. Rose was tired, but Paige was ultra tired as she had been up since the morning of course, with 2 rounds of trick or treating. We let her watch a Shrek Halloween special before bed instead of reading her books.
I kept a tally as I usually do, and we had close to 85 kids (a few were babies in costumes who didn't require candy, but they'll be good to go next year). Last year we had 35 and the weather was the same. Soooo...good to know. I'll buy even more next year as the number can only go up!
