Happy Halloween 2013

Happy Halloween from the Muir household. It was a last minute costume change in our household for both the kids. We initially planned on Katie being Oona from the Bubble Guppies show. We had a purple dress for her and were going to put her hair in pig tails and color her hair purple but then she saw her mermaid costume in her close from last year and wanted to wear that. So we compromised and let her wear her mermaid costume but we still put her in pig tails and colored her hair purple.

Mikey wanted to be a number of things that changed hourly. We had an awesome Buzz Lightyear costume for him but then he wanted to be Batman and finally ended up being a fireman for the second year in a row.
It was sprinkling lightly while we went trick or treating in our neighborhood so his fireman coat was perfect for the rain. The kids ended up with a good amount of candy and after letting them eat a few pieces that night, the candy magically disappeared and Mikey has only asked where the Halloween candy went a handful of times. We told him that Halloween is only one day a year and so you get to enjoy the Halloween candy for only one day.

I ended up taking the candy to the Wilton YMCA who were collecting the candy to send to troops over seas.

Knocking on their first door. Our elderly neighborhood Nina. She is so sweet and loved the kids.
Treat or Treating consisted of Mikey and Katie trying to beat each other to knock on the door. Immediately after knocking Katie would say Trick or Treat before anyone answered and Mikey would say it so low that he could hardly be heard. Then he would pick one piece and be very polite about it while Katie would take advantage of every person. As long as they held the bowl of candy down for her she kept picking pieces of candy from the bowl often getting 3 or 4 pieces of candy per home.
