After school, her friend invited her to go to the mall with her to trick or treat. It was really crowded so they didn't stay too long but they did have fun walking around as Bambi and Thumper. ;)
We had our annual neighborhood Halloween party that evening. We had to take hotdog buns and condiments. It was great to see everyone and have time to talk to all our neighbors and meet new people who have moved in. It is such a fun tradition. They had bounce houses for the kids and a bunch of food. Each street is asked to bring something different and it is a huge potluck party. So much fun!!
We went home, turned on the pumpkins and Courtney went trick or treating while Ethan did homework and handed out candy. I wanted to hand out little toys or pencils. I have done this before and the kids have loved it. This year, Ethan and Courtney told me not to do that because they thought we would get toilet papered if I did. I caved and bought candy and we still had a huge bag of it left over at the end of the night. Ugh! Next year, I'm buying pencils!
Ethan had fun with some of Courtney's stuff when she got home.
He answered the door like this:
When Courtney got home, she had to divide up her candy. She was allowed to keep 10 pieces of candy and then the rest would go to the Halloween Fairy. Ethan wanted to help her with the process but kept stealing her candy. She was not amused.
In order to stop himself from stealing from her, he had to curl up on the couch and try to pretend there wasn't candy 3 feet from him.
She had a hard time narrowing down what she wanted to keep and what she had to give away. It was so hard when she got so many good pieces of candy.
The Halloween Fairy showed up and took away the candy on Halloween night. She left a couple of canvases for Courtney to paint and a Lego for Ethan. It was a fun Halloween!
