Trick or Treat

I'm usually not a huge fan of Halloween, it's not something we really celebrated growing up and I don't feel like I missed out on anything to be honest. This year was different, now Chase is old enough to start understanding different holidays and events I'm all about it, because who doesn't like to dress up their kid and hop them up on sugar?

I had a hard time deciding on what to do for costumes as not only did we have Chase to dress up, but also Asher and of course thanks to my OCD they HAD to coordinate. Chase is obsessed with Paw Patrol and they had costumes in his size but not for Asher, so that will have to wait for another year. My SIL bought Asher and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle sleeper and so that decided our costumes for this year, so thanks Anita :) Asher was Michaelangelo and Chase was Leonardo. Of course James was thrilled with the choices as it took him back to his childhood, and I do have many memories of playing with my brothers turtle figurines.

I know I'm biased but I have to say the boys looked exceptionally adorable in their get up.

We decided Chase was old enough to go trick or treating this year and consume some candy so we set out around 6pm, pumpkin bucket in his hand and an adult beverage in ours;) I thought Chase would last maybe 5 hours and we would be forcing him to go up to people's doors. Boy was I wrong! We had to have hit about 20 houses and even at 8:15pm as I was having to carry him home as he was so tired he was asking, "more houses Mummy, more lights, lets go."

An added bonus was we met a family that moved into the neighborhood in February and they have a little boy who is only 2 days older than Chase and he has a little brother that can be a buddy for Asher! She also stays home with her kids so we plan on getting them together soon.

It was a great first trick or treatin' with Chase and we have enough candy to last us until next year!
