Halloween with the Moore's

We were invited to go trick or treating in a really nice neighborhood. Our friends had a party beforehand, and several other families came (about 20 trick-or-treaters total). We hit the streets and found that lots of people were handing out the goods. Several families were just hanging out on their porches waiting for us to arrive. It was nice, it reminded me of my own childhood. I was glad to see Maddie experiencing the same southern hospitality that I grew up with.


This is Maddie with Levi. They were the two youngest trick-or-treaters, and also the slowest. We ended up trick or treating with him and his parents. He is a year older and provided a good example of Halloween manners. He always said, "trick-or-treat" and, "thank you."






Maddie whispered trick or treat a few times that night. She usually said, "thank you" followed by a prompt, "bye bye." It was clear that she wasn't interested in small talk, just candy.









Occasionally, the person would hand the candy to Brandon instead of Maddie. This made Maddie think that she hadn't received any candy. She simply stood there with her hand out until they handed her some. It was adorable, and she always got more.Those people never got a thank you bye bye.






When we got back to our friend's house, Maddie realized that her sippy cup of water was incredibly lame compared to Levi's cherry sucker.









I tried to make up for it with some M&M's. It totally did the trick... or treat?



Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!
