Bennett joined in on the trick-or-treating and it made the night perfect. Bennett chose to ride the entire time in the wagon, Love Bug chose to be held by D and The Mayor chose to pull the wagon until he got to each house. Then he would go to the door and say "Trick or trick or treat" (you read that right, he asked for the trick twice), said thank you for the candy, went back to pulling the wagon until we got to the next house. This cycle continued for about 20 houses and then he only had enough energy to just get to the house and say "trick or trick or treat". About 6 houses before we got home, he asked to be carried.
As soon as we got home and we dumped out his loot, he started singing a different tune. Suddenly he got a little bit of energy and wanted to chow down. About 1 bag of Skittles, a Tootsie Roll pop, 2 packs of Smarties, a bag of gummy treats, a Take 5 and a dum-dum later we told him the rest would have to wait until tomorrow. I believe he would have eaten himself into a sugar coma if we had let him.
Love Bug made it almost the entire trip. Sweet girl tried to be a trouper but just couldn't hold out. As soon as we hit our street the tears started flowing, so D took her home and put her down while The Mayor and I hit the rest of the houses.
It is 8:30, an hour past his bedtime and he is still in his costume. We are sitting in the dark because we have almost run out of candy to pass out and are watching a Thomas episode. Just winding down before we hit the hay. What a great Halloween.
