The kids had so much fun on the very first night of trick-or-treating! We have never done it before. So, it was an extra-fun time for us! They were so cute running up to all the doors, and it was so much to see all of our neighbors out!
I explained the rules of trick-or-treating to them last night:
1. If the porch light is on, they have candy and you can knock.
2. Let them put the candy in your bucket. Don't reach in! (Yeah, right! That did not happen. Well, actually it did, but Chase grabbed a few extra pieces afterwards!)
3. Keep the candy in the bucket. Do not eat it all tonight! (Now the candy is hiding!)

The first house we went to was our neighbor's, Ms. Marilyn, whom the kids adore! When she answered the door, the kids said "trick or treat" and then Thomas gave Ms. Marilyn some candy from his bucket (something from school). Apparently, I didn't explain this very well!
It is nicer to give than receive, but I corrected my son and told them we would be receiving candy at all the houses tonight not giving it away! I love the things they do and the way their minds work!
Hopefully, they will understand that Halloween is only once a year, and that it is not customary for us to ring a doorbell and ask for candy!! We'll see how that goes!
