Our First Trick or Treating Experience!

Well Conner went trick or treating for the first time this year. First he went TOTing at his school, which basically consisted of us parading around the building where a few people were spaced out with buckets of candy. He had no idea what the deal was and I had to bribe him along with M&Ms to each "stop".

But then after dinner we got him dressed up and we hit the neighborhood. He did surprisingly well for not knowing what the deal was. All our neighbors thought he was so cute and would give him extra candy. He looked so cute plodding along dragging his candy bag behind him!

We made it around the block before he finally had enough and mom had to carry him for a ways before she started huffing and puffing, and then dad took over.

It dawned on me that night that this is the one time when its ok for your kid to go up to a perfect stranger and ask for candy. LOL! Hopefully I can teach him the difference as he gets older.

Here's Conner in his costume just before we headed out. He hates wearing hats, so it was a treat to get him to wear it long enough for this photo, even though its not on straight!
