Happy Halloween!

Saturday was Buchanan's big Halloween/Trick-or-Treat day. After nap time, we ran out to the Riverwalk for Trick-or-Trail. I had never been so I'm walking down this path wondering where all the candy is with Eleanor asking the same. Turns out we were a little too late. But it was a pretty walk anyhow.

I asked Eleanor to put her arms down and tried to get Carolyn not to eat the leaves. You know, looking for that perfect Halloween picture...

All I ended up doing was boring Eleanor and Carolyn kept eating leaves.
So we left the trail and got ready for the real Trick-or-Treat!
Carolyn all set to get some candy. The girl was a trooper, skipping her nap to join in the fun!


As we made our way down to the Police Station, Eleanor shouted "That's my favorite dog!" So we had to get a picture with him.

Eleanor running to the next house!


Eleanor was great. She picked it up quick last year at 1.5, so now that she's 2.5, she's an old pro. And many of the people handing out candy just loved how polite she was. She'd go to each house and say, "Trick or treat", get her candy, then say "thank you!" She doesn't always use her manners, but we're working on it. She made up proud that night!

The biggest blow-up ever! If you look down on the ground, you can see my tiny ladybug and ity-bity chicken.

After an hour of running to the houses, we headed home to hand out our candy. Eleanor handed out all the candy herself and absolutely loved it! I think she thought she was pretty special with all the kids coming up to HER saying trick or treat.
And I know she was by far the smallest (and cutest) candy passer-outer :)

When all the candy was gone, we went inside to check out Eleanor's loot. Carolyn really wanted to check it out!

What little cuties, I love their costumes! I didn't even get a costume for Peyton this year. She wore a Halloween turtleneck that was orange with black cats and white ghosts on it.
