This year we wanted to be a princess, a knight and a prince. Thank goodness E-bay is a handy thing to use. When you live in the country trick or treating is called drive and treating. When you have to put a three kids in a car it is quite a challenge so we try to do it as little as possible. We walked back to Mamaw and Papaw's house. When we went got there Mamaw announced to Papaw that they had three strangers at the door. Katelyn said "Don't you know who we are? Mamaw-It's okay, it is just us Katelyn, Kyle and Kolden. We are just pretending to be a princess, a prince, and a knight." It was really cute! Mamaw always has a camera ready and this year she showed the kids how to pose for a picture. Kolden posed his sword and shield in the same place for the rest of the night!
We went through the field to Aunt Darlene's house to visit. We met Wonder Woman there! Emma is Darlene's other great niece who is also 4 years old. Then we went on into town to visit with Gram-Jack's Mom. The kids see her at church and talk to her everyday when Carole calls to check in on her. They were really excited.
That is when we knew country kids don't understand trick-or-treating. Every house we stop at we go in a visit for a couple of minutes before we leave. Gram wanted to show the kids to her neighbors. We walked over and a man answered the door and tried to hand them some animal crackers. Kyle just walked past the man and went right in the house. The man was a bit taken back, but then Gram's friend came in the room and invited us in and I wanted to hide under the nearest rock. I quickly tried to explain and tried to tell the kids, but it was late and I am not sure I made any sense to them. I will probably forget to mention it next year too!
And yes if you must know we cheated on carving the pumpkin this year. We had just gotten back from vacation and ran out of time. So each kiddo got a giant light up pumpkin for the front porch!
