Trick-Or-Treat!

We had a blast trick-or-treating!
This is my attempt to get a picture of the kids with our pumpkins ...  
...clearly they weren't in the mood to sit still!   
Burning off some energy before trick-or-treating 

Griffin was one lucky boy ... before trick-or-treating started, we heard a fire truck driving by, so Griffin and his friend ran outside to wave at it while it was stopped at the stop sign.  They were so excited to be dressed up as a fireman and to see the fire truck at the same time ... then the firetruck turned the wrong way down the one way street by our house just to say hi to the boys!  They were so excited!
The firefighter was showing Griffin how her real uniform is the same as Griffin's! 
They let them sit on the truck ... Griffin was pretty nervous (hence my promise to hold his hand) but they were so excited and Griffin still talks about it!   
 Isaac and Griffin getting ready to trick-or-treat
The three fire fighters showing us how fire fighters fight fires 
and the fourth fire fighter!  Eli, Cohen, Isaac, and Griffin 
We actually had a 5th fire fighter that night - Griffin's Baby Cow had a fire fighter costume too : ) 
And Grace was a dalmatian...she loves dog and looks up to Griffin so much, so it was a good fit! 
The fire crew 
They looked pretty cute running around together before we started trick-or-treating 
Here's our attempt at all the kids together - Grace refused to join in the picture, and Levi was quite the sport, as usual! 
We finally got her to join in the picture 
But she really just wanted to run around ... 
...and look adorable! 
And they're off! 
So cute! 
I couldn't stop taking pictures of them (no surprise) ... they were a cute crew! 
Their first house 
Checking out other trick-or-treaters 
Grace was amazed that they gave her candy! 
She immediately had to sit down and check out her candy 
Putting her candy in her bucket 
Griffin is such a great big brother ... he ran ahead to make sure Grace didn't cross the street by herself. 
they boys had fun playing in the leaves along the way! 
Griffin and Grace trick-or-treating 
She stopped after every house to check how much candy she had 
She also said, "more? more?" after every house ... she couldn't believe we got to do it over and over again! 
Griffin loved trick-or-treating ... he has quite the sweet tooth so this is one of his favorite holidays!  When we asked him to tell Grace what trick-or-treating was like, he said, "well Grace, you get lots of toothbrushes and candy when you say 'trick-or-treat.'"  
Griffin and Cohen trick-or-treating 
We trick-or-treated all the way up to the library for story time 
We were the only people there, making it fun! 
Griffin dancing 
 The kids loved story time ... and Levi was amazed!  
We finally made it back home and Griffin was excited to see his jack-o-lantern all lit up!
