Trick or Treat

This past summer, Bryce, Carter, and Aly discovered the world of "Harry Potter." Those yahoo's immediately started planning for a Halloween "Harry Potter" trick or treat fest! Yesterday we drove the 2.5 hours up north so "Harry," "Ron," and "Hermione" could trick or treat together. Cheryl bought them all brooms and also cauldrons to carry their candy in. I knitted the whole week to get Aly a Gryffindor scarf to wear with her robe. After a frantic rush to finish the scarf (minutes before trick or treat began), a scare that Bryce had lost his robe, teasing Aly's hair to stand up (because we didn't bring the right crimper tool), and plenty of pictures, we hit the streets. I was surprised at just how many people knew who they were. They had a ball. Heck, we had a ball watching them :) We were just doing what Papa always tells us is so important...Making Memories!! So whether you like "Harry Potter" or not, you can't deny how stinkin' cute they look :)

And a picture that actually includes my older child...the one who didn't want to dress up to trick or treat...but is still staring longingly at the candy pile. LOL! Aunt Cheryl had mercy on her and gave her the boy's candy basket to eat out of for the night. I can guarantee that there are no more Sour Patch Kids in that basket :)
