Ha Ha Halloween

For the second year in a row, the city of Blackshear scheduled its trick-or-treating around the Georgia-Florida game. So, like every other citizen of Blackshear, we celebrated Halloween on Oct. 28th. As you can probably tell, our theme this year was "clowns". We had such a fun time in our silly outfits. We began the evening at Granny Buie's house where we met up with the Murray and Boyette girls. Everyone looked so cute in their costumes. We took a few pictures and then began the trick-or-treating. We spent all of our time visiting the houses in Granny's neighborhood. We borrowed Papa's golf cart so that we could get around faster. This actually went well with our theme. Papa's golf cart is a two-seater, so we all had to squeeze into a small area. We called it our "clown cart". We could hear people commenting on our costumes and our cart as we rode down the street. We even had a few random people take pictures of us.

The trick-or-treating itself was so much fun. Olivia remembered doing it last year, so she knew what to expect. Owen, on the other hand did not know what was going on at first. He was so cute at the first house. He walked up behind Olivia with his little bucket and basically followed her lead. She stuck her bucket out and said, "trick-or-treat", and so Owen did the same. They both recieved candy, and the minute that piece of candy hit Owen's bucket, you could see the light come on in his head. He totally understood the concept of trick-or-treating at that moment. After that first house, the kids were warmed up and ready to go. Once we pulled up to a house, the kids would jump out of the golf cart, run up to the door of the house, say trick-or-treat, and run back. It was kind of funny because Owen's costume didn't fit him well and his pants would start falling down when he ran. Those pants didn't stop him though. They'd be halfway to his knees and he'd still be running. The kids ended up with a lot of candy which they will be snacking- a piece or two at the time- for the next couple of weeks. We had an absolute blast this Halloween. The kids were at the perfect age to enjoy it, and I honestly cannot wait until next year.
