We went trick-or-treating at the Leavenworth County Courthouse on Tuesday morning during our normal library story time. The librarians set it all up and we went office to office, stopping by cubicles for candy. Just like last year, the boys wanted to stop after the first office to unwrap and eat the candy. They just don't understand the concept of filling up the whole bucket and then going to town at the end. Oh, well!

| Enjoying a Halloween treat from Granny! |
For actual Halloween, we went onto base and stopped at the fire station first. They were having a costume contest, musical chairs, and food and games. Dan and Ben loved looking at all the other costumes, including the dogs that were dressed up. They just couldn't quite believe their eyes when they saw a dog dyed green. (Poor little guy. He looked so embarrassed.) They were very excited to see a woman dressed as Mrs. Pteranodon, a character on their new favorite DVD.
After the fire station, we went to a neighborhood that was doing Trunk or Treat. I knew the boys wouldn't last too long so I wanted to get the most bang for our buck. Plus, we needed to get home to hand out treats here. We hit all the carports that we could and Ben was even brave enough to go in a little haunted house that was set up. Dan politely declined, but he had a great time just looking at it from the outside and talking about it.
When we got home, Dan loved answering the door with Zach when trick-or-treaters rang our doorbell. He made sure everyone saw his glow-in-the-dark dinosaur pajamas and he was equalled excited to see their costumes. I think giving out the candy was the best part of his night! (Little does he know that we also passed out the candy that he and Ben just received. I hate having it around the house because I'll just eat it. This is probably the last year I can get away with that little trick, though.)
