Anyhow, back to Halloween. They rocked. Allie was completely freaked out when groups of kids would walk down the street towards us. Fuh-Reak out. But other than that she held onto that king sized butterfinger like her life depended on it and continued to delegate bucket holding duties so that more candy could be added to the stash.
The girls got to pick 10 pieces of candy for the week, gorge themselves the night of, and then the switch witch came and swapped all the extra candy for a toy. The switch witch was a hit.

If they hand out king size Butterfingers in your neighborhood, I'm moving there.
And the Switch Witch is a brilliant idea (does she keep all the good candy for herself?)
PS Maddie looks SO grown up! No baby fat cheeks or anything
We might need to give the switch witch our address. We have had many candy meltdowns...and finally it was all thrown out (which secretly means taken to Mama's work). Atta girl Mads. Trick or Treat are maybe the best three words you'll ever utter..and the chicken costume...still going strong. Love it. And love how she is holding onto that butterfinger for dear life.
Allie is a smart girl, she obvs. had already heard rumors of the Switch Witch coming and was NOT going to give up that Butterfinger w/o a fight.
Halloween is a big deal on Island Drive. Most of the neighbors go all out with the decorations and candy. It is a wonderful place for the kids to trick or treat. I had to stay home and hand out candy but I would have loved to have seen Maddie finally getting the words -- trick or treat -- out. Do you think the chicken costume will make it for another year for Allie?
