I know why Peter Pan didn't want to grow up! Go trick or treating with a two year old and you will know why too! Ethan was so excited to get dressed in his pirate costume that you could feel his electric energy in the air. I must say he looked pretty darn cute in his swashbuckling attire! We went to some neighborhood friend's house for dinner and pre-sugar fest before the real action began. Once we got started trick or treating it was like watching Ethan walk on air. He bolted from door to door each time saying, "twick or tweat." His face must have hurt from smiling so much! Those big brown eyes were as wide as could be as he admired his bountiful stash of candy. A pirate he was, and he got something better than gold to a two year old...lots and lots of candy! My sweet little Ella tuckered out before she ever got started. Luckily she made it into her cat costume before falling fast asleep. She and her daddy spent the evening rocking on the porch and handing out candy. It's funny how as we get older the magic of trick or treating starts to fade. Luckily a young pirate unlocked a lot of fond memories for me and helped me make some new ones. If I could bottle this night and save it for a bad day I would, as it was truly a night of treats for all of us!
