Trick-or-Treat

What a night! We started out as a Dinosaur {see previous post}...however, my MIL also bought Hudson the cutest Skunk costume...all this time, I thought it would be too big. Before going over to our friend's house, I put the Skunk on him just to see...and it fit!!! AND IT WAS CUTE!!! So after a great nap, we headed out!
We enjoyed "Kiddie Dinner", suited up and went to the clubhouse. Other than the slight mishap* on our way, Hudson really got into the whole thing! He ran up to the houses {closely behind Lizzie & Glenn Elizabeth}, was very sweet & said "Treat" then immediately grabbed some candy but finished with a big "Thank You!" Although, each time we got a piece of candy, he instantly said "OPEN!"
We can't wait until next year...I wonder what Hudson will be!
*Mishap: My MIL, Debbie, came with us to watch Hudson's 1st "real" Trick-or-Treat! She was so excited {and as mentioned, was the purchaser of Skunk}! As we pulled the kiddos in their wagons & chatted on our way to the clubhouse, no one noticed the pavement dip before the man-hole...sweet Debbie trips & it was instant slow-mo. She's pretty graceful {if you can be graceful falling} & looked like she was going to re-bound...boy, were we wrong! She fell...on her hand with her glasses in them & gashed her eyebrow wide open! Needless to say, Kevin {who had stayed behind to help clean up - yes clean up} rushed over & took her to Urgent Care. 4 x-rays on her wrist & some dermabond later, they arrived back at the house just in time for the end of Trick-or-Treating! Hopefully next year will go smoothly!
What a "Lil Stinker"
"Trick-or-Treat!!"
