Trick or Treat or Trying at Least

Happy Halloween everyone! Hope you had a ghoulish night. Our Aiden Aiden Poop was a little green frog for halloween, although he was more than confused about the whole holiday. From this picture below, you can see that most one-year-olds really have no clue (with the possible exception of Eddy, lower right) what the heck they are doing all dressed up in animal suits and posing for a picture before they get paraded around to local businesses to gather treats.

Even after they got the candies, I don't think any of them even knew there was something edible inside those multicolored little plastic packages. Aiden was a little grumpy about the whole business, but his girlfriend Cassidy (black and red bug) was downright mad.

The crowd generally settled down after the trick'or'treat parade was over and they all sat down to some treats they could understand (raspberries, cookies, goldfish, etc.)

After the daycare party, Andy and I took Aiden around to about 6 houses in Williston to get the real "big-boy" experience of trick-or-treating. He was still clueless, but he did like grabbing a handful of those shiny little packages from each bowl. And of course everyone thought he was the cutest they'd seen all night (ok, he was also the first, since this was about 5pm).

To round out the evening, we had steaming bowls of chili at Grandma and Grandpa's house, and Aiden learned a new trick from Timber... hmmm...
