What an exciting day! They've been looking forward to dressing up and trick or treating for weeks...and they've probably had a month's worth of sugar in one day!
We've been building our collection of dress up clothes over the past year, so they actually got to choose costumes, and of course L went for the trusty old unicorn. I thought she'd choose one of her princess outfits, but I guess she associates the unicorn with trick or treating from last year. G chose this cow costume, which even moos. He wore it all day long, even to school. He wasn't interested in changing into his regular clothes, even though it wasn't a dress up day in school, and I figured it wasn't worth the potential confusion and distress of forcing the issue.
The day started with breakfast in costumes, a party at daycare (including trick or treating through the building, and doing a few songs for the treaters), and ended with trick or treating in our neighborhood (and then a few special stops in the van). They came home with lots of treats, sampled a few for bedtime snack, and fell asleep pretty quickly!
