Lily got to go trick or treating for the first time last night, and I must say it's very hard seeing two of your kids grow up so fast while another is just earning the right to participate in fun traditions. Our littlest one went as a devil this year, and had quite a blast. I have never been more thankful than for the families that had the foresight to give her fruit snacks. Even though I know candy will be a huge part of this tradition for many years to come (as proven by her older brothers and even father!), I just wasn't ready to let a two year old eat nothing but candy and crash out at the home of our wonderful hosts.
It was nice getting to go out and bring Lily along. I just couldn't believe how wonderfully she did, our typically difficult toddler in a new place with brand new people. It probably helped that my friend is a professor teaching special education. She was like the baby whisperer! We will definitely be visiting with them again.
One of the boys went out with friends and the other stayed in and handed out candy to the non-existent trick or treaters. I just can't believe they are in high school already, and not kids anymore. What a Halloween.
