There's no place like home...

You guessed it...little miss went as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and even though I am bias rocked the costume. For the longest time she said it was Snow White and when we corrected her she would get angry so we just let it be. When she was asked yesterday I was shocked when she said Dorothy and seemed excited about it. Good thing because she was the one that picked out the costume.

The basket was her favorite part of the costume with the shoes coming in a very close second. Since the Toto that came with the basket was a little scary we substituted it with her Brown Dog. Either way he was tagging along so why not make it one less thing I have to carry.

Daddy decided to dress up this year. Can you guess who he is?!? Some of our neighbors kept asking what he did and cracked up when we told him it was part of the costume. Other times we would be walking by people and her them laugh as they told the person they were with that he was Tony Romo. I was impressed with his creativity. I did help by having him wear his hat backwards.

Love this picture. The only smile he gave us the entire night. Poor lil man wasn't feeling to good but was a good sport and let us enjoy our time out.

This is how she reacted to the first house. You would think after weeks of her asking if it was Halloween and wanting to go trick or treating she wouldn't have thought twice about going to the door especially since it was our neighbor that she knows. Silly girl!!!

Sasha helped by bringing the candy to her. That was all Kaylie needed and from that point on she was unstoppable. Candy did the trick. Once she would get to the door she was ready with her basket already opened.

With football on as well as the Rangers playing in the World Series many people put candy on the porch for the taking. I was surprised that the majority of the containers had not been emptied by the time we got there. Both kids were really good at taking only a piece and coming back.

What do you think they are talking about?!?

Not even phased by the other kids. The only things that would slow them down were random decorations hanging in the door. One house had a ghost in the entry way and another had a head that shook when you went to knock. The ghost they wouldn't go near but the door with the head wasn't as noticeable to the kids so when Fletch proudly ran to the door for the first time without an adult and the head went off both kids turned around and ran back to us at sonic speed. It took a few more houses of nothing scaring them to start going by themselves. Is it bad that we couldn't stop laughing?!?

Kaylie's get me the heck out of here face. She got her candy and was gone.

I felt bad...we had to slow them down and not let them run after Kaylie ate it on a walk way with rocks embedded in it. She cried a little but was able to shake it up. This morning I realized the knee that has now been landed on two other times and finally healed is re-cut. The funny part is the next fall has been happening right after the one before it healed. Thankfully, this didn't stop her in the long run.

Once we finished getting our candy we went home and were able to give candy to to more trick or treaters. Both were families we knew which made it more fun for Kaylie to hand it out.

She dumped the candy out by herself and told her daddy to come and look. They then called me to come and take a picture. The next few were all her. I did not force any of the poses. She was in a great mood and was hamming it up for us.

We have used this pumpkin for the past three years. This year we added some bows so we didn't mix it up with the others.

I think the sign of a successful night is a pumpkin filled to the top with candy, her costume falling apart, and a smile on her face. Happy Halloween!!!
