Trick or Treat Please

That is not all of Marin's candy! That is the candy we gave out to all the kids coming to our house. When I got it out to put it in the bowls, I think Marin was amazed that that much candy was so close to her. She dumped it into the bowls, dumped the bowls onto the floor, and then picked it all up again.

Unfortunately, we had some trauma after this. Before Marin was in her costume two scary looking trick or treaters came to our door. Marin saw them and was scared. She started crying and said, "no trick or treating." We had aout 15-20 minutes of tears and two parents telling her she would really like it. At one point, I felt horrible and thought am I doing this for her or myself. The horrible parenting paid off and we went out and she had a blast. We went to about 10-12 houses. When we told Marin that it was time to go home, Marin said, "More trick or treating please." I think this was a good sign she enjoyed herself. Now we just have to listen to the request for candy for the next month!
