This year, we had a goldfish, Lighting McQueen, and a cupcake :) The kids were bouncing off the walls excited before we even entered the candy sugar rush!
The kids had fun trick or treating the loop around our street. It was really fun to go with three big kids - our first time trick-or-treating with all three kids and no stroller! Larkyn even joined in the rotation of ringing the doorbell every third house and quickly picked up on how the whole process worked - say trick-or-treat, get candy, say thank you :).

In full
disclosure, we spent the first half of our trick-or-treating utilizing
the many teachable moments at each house we visited to refine our young,
competitive son in the area of "the first shall be last". With the
repetitive practice that running house to house allowed, he did indeed
master the art of allowing others to go first rather than pushing to be
first. I was very proud of his changed actions and attitude by the end
of the evening, volunteering to be the last one to get candy rather than
elbowing others out of the way. Paul's tactic of taking a piece of
candy from his bucket for each time he pushed may have had something to
do with it!;)
