Claire was very excited about the idea of Halloween but when it came down to it she was more excited to pass out the candy then go trick or treating. Claire and Mark went out to about 14 houses before she decided she wanted to go home. It was a chilly night and she was fighting the sniffles (we still seem to be fighting it). Before she went out we made a giant Halloween cupcake together. It worked out really well since she could really only eat about three pieces of candy from her haul due to her lovely peanut/tree nut allergy.
Brynn hung out with me and handed out candy dressed as a little chick (or possibly a duck you can make the final call.) She did pretty well in her costume. It worked nicely to keep her warm the Saturday before Halloween. Our subdivision always has a great Halloween parade. They get a contingent of Royal Oak's High School band who leads the kid and parents through the streets in our subdivision. Claire loved it she was a witch this year. (She wore the costume my mom made for me as a kid.) She rode her broom through the streets of our sub and waved at no one in particular but she loved it. The duck costume and a few blankets kept the Brynnsinator warm.
