We finally took some pictures after an hour of tricks and treats on our friends porch. It seems to be a tradition now. Meet at the Okamotos, run around Coullee City collecting goods, someone always tuckers out early, the boys always want to go all night, don't forget to stop at that scary house (this year decorated with bloody body parts) and back to the Okamotos to take inventory. As we left the Okamotos a group of goulish treaters told us the best place in town...the local grocery store. They let you pick out anything you want for under .89 cents. What a great tip!!! Here's a few other tips I wish I would have known.Tip #1: Face Painting Doesn't get better the more you practice.
For some reason the first time is so new and exciting the child listens and sits paitienly waiting for the big reaveal. By the third (or was it the fourth) time you find your self skipping all the details just to get it over with.
Tip #2: Hold the screen door
On our way home we decided to stop at one more house. We knocked, a gentle elderly woman opened the door, we squealled trick or treat , she turned to gather her candy bowl with delight, then it happened... like slow motion... she opened the screen door and a gust of wind took it from her grasp hittting Tristen in the head, hurling him into Everett the two of them on to the ground. In the mean time she reached for the door falling off her step into my arms, there I stood with a senior citizen in one arm and a baby cattapillar in the other. JOSH GET OUT OF THE CAR!!!
Tip #3: The later the better..makes bedtime easy.
