Trick-or-treated OUT!

Since it's our last year in DC, I'm trying to do all the activities I've heard about in the past but haven't found the time for. That meant going trick-or-treating 3 different times this year. It was actually really fun, but a lot of walking and tragically I forgot my camera for 2 of the times so this is all you get. (pictures missing are of trick-or-treating at the embassies and then down the Stirlings street Halloween night)
Thursday morning we went up to a strip mall where the kids got to trick-or-treat at the stores. Ethan especially loved it because all his friends came along. L to R Isaac (duck), Summer (Dorothy), Rosemary (lion), Ethan (dragon-dinosaur), Damon (Incrediboy), Elijah (horse), Elise (princess).
Isaac was absolutely content to stay in the stroller as long as he had his little bucket of candy he could reach into and play with. Nerds were his favorite because they make a great shaky noise. Suckers ran a close second because of the stick.
Ethan ran around saying "roar" to anyone and everyone that would look at him.
The mall even had people doing balloon animals. Ethan loved his elephant and Isaac loved "eating" Elmo's nose.
Anybody want some candy? I have buckets full you're very welcome to! No really! It's not like Isaac can have chocolate yet and Ethan's the only child on the planet who doesn't like it. Seriously- it's the 4th of November already and Ethan has asked for a treat once- and then he picked out the bag of goldfish crackers to eat!
