Trick or Treat

This is the first year Cooper really got the concept of Halloween; when I asked him today what we were going to do for Halloween today, he said we were going to say "Trick or Treat," be a pirate, and put candy in a bag. Ava sort of understood, but was enjoying going from house to house more than the dress up part. I've joined a Stay At Home Mom's group here, and one of the Mom's invited us to her home at base housing to trick or treat from. She had a couple other people over with their kids, snacks and drinks. It was really nice of her to open her home like that, especially since we are in the same group but hadn't yet met in person. Base housing is huge, we probably took the kids to at least 30 houses, and we took it easy. It was lots of fun for a pirate and a ladybug, and for their parents, too!
