Trick or Treat

So, the hubby and I just couldn't come up with something from our closets to wear for a Halloween costume, so we skipped out on the Halloween party we had planned to go to and just took Little Buddy trick-or-treating instead. We were invited to a birthday party for a friend, last night, too. And, as much as we love all of our friends and would have loved to have celebrated with all of them, last night was just perfect for us. I didn't regret having a "just us" night at all. It was great. Little Buddy wore his puppy dog costume from last year. (Well, ONE of his costumes from last year). He was a little unsure about the whole idea of going up to strangers houses and holding out a little bag for them to drop goodies into, but he warmed up. He really had a good time, it seemed. He got so comfortable that when the people told him to pick his own candy out of their bowl, he wasn't shy about helping himself. How embarrassing. What a little mooch. But, he was a cute mooch, so it was okay. When we finished trick-or-treating, we ended back up at Grammie and Papa's house. But, Little Buddy was just getting warmed up. He didn't want to go inside, so he and Grammie just walked around the grass and greeted the trick-or-treaters that were coming to their door. He helped pass out candy, too. What a sweet boy. He even tried to give his own Hot Tamales to someone. But, fortunately, Grammie stopped him from being so giving. She knows that mommy and daddy like Hot Tamales, I guess. :)
Anyways, here are some pictures from last night: (The first one is from last year...for comparison.)
