We weren't sure until trick-or-treat time whether or not all three kids would be able to make the annual neighborhood candy trek. Tanner was still suffering effects of what we think was the flu (mostly exhibiting symptoms like crying for no reason and falling apart over the smallest things); Faith still had a 101 fever. Only Jake was spared (knock on wood). Yep, after battling a stomach virus for 2 weeks straight, or kids got H1N1 on Monday. Tanner was only down 2 days, but Faith is still sick this morning- probably because we let her trick or treat to her heart's content last night, even though she was clearly exhausted. But her enthusiasm for the candy hopping was evident and she galloped her way between most houses, only requiring the wagon toward the end of the hour. Everyone loved her "baby horsie" costume- although many people thought it was a "Bronco" costume to go with Jake's Broncos football player costume. (Yeah... like we have that much time or creativity to theme our costumes....).
The neighborhood was packed with friends and neighbors- although to my disappointment there were no houses handing out mulled wine or Oktoberfest beer to the adults this year. The kids got a ton of candy and loved dumping it all out to revel in the booty. They also got a huge kick out of answering the door for trick-or-treaters- although we ran out of candy very early due to Tanner's tendency to hand out fistfulls to each kid, instead of just one or two.
