Trick-or-Treat 2007

The boy was a tiger this year. He didn't pick it - we did. He was obsessed with this stuffed tiger he has, of course, until recently, but that's okay. Here he is with his friend Sinjin, the spider. We also went with our neighbor Chloe, who was the leader of the pack. This was the first year of real trick-or-treating. The process is a very steep learning curve. The first few houses, they were timid about approaching the door and knocking. They would then usually stand there and not say "trick-or-treat", but trust me, after a couple houses, they got it. They would approach the door and knock. When the person with the bowl came out, they would just stick out their pumpkins to collect the goods. Halfway through the route, Sinjin just enjoyed knocking the door and then promptly leaving without getting the goods. He had to be reminded to get the candy. Mind you, neither of the boys have had candy, so they don't really know what's going on. They just know that people are oohing and aahing over them and putting stuff in their pumpkins. The boy got tired near the end. "Mama, too much treats. Pumpkin HEABY(that how he pronounces it)" Oh, my dear son, you will not be saying that next year...
