I love Christmas, but Zach loves Halloween. I've never really understood why he likes it so much, but he always has. When we first were married and living in Illinois he wanted to put out black and orange rope lights and other decorations. He also had to dress up in his Scream costume and wanted to scare the trick or treaters, luckily we had like 3 kids come to the door and they were all young so he couldn't scare them. Then when we moved to Arizona we would go around with our nephews and it wasn't that big of a deal, but last year for Chloe's first Halloween he was all excited and didn't know what the two of them could be so they were Mickey and Minnie Mouse. This year was no different. We tried to come up with a few different ideas and finally landed on The Wizard of Oz. Zach was the Scarecrow, Chloe was Dorothy and Levi was the Cowardly Lion. We started out while the day was still pretty bright out and we were the
first trick or treaters of a lot of the houses. We started at our house
and gave Chloe a piece of candy and then started going down our street.
The first few houses Chloe didn't quite understand and she would try to
take a p
iece from her basket and give to the person at the door. It was
cute. Then she started to get the hang of it and was excited to look
for the porch lights to find the next house. She did really good the
entire night. Zach's parents came along with us and I think we were out
for a little over two hours. Chloe walked about all of it and did really
well. Levi did good too. He just smiled and was cute. All our neighbors
thought they were adorable and even tried to give Levi candy too. I
think they gave Chloe extra candy since Levi didn't have a basket. When
we made it back to our house Chloe's basket was filled to the brim.

We had a fun night, but I had to remind Zach that he needs to be
prepared for in a few years the kids not to want to dress up like/with
him. So he is soaking everything up now and already thinking about
things for next year
