It was an exciting day of preperation for the little basket of goodies. We practiced playing "Trick or Treat" all day on account that it was so fun. Simeon and Joe would get there little baskets, and run to the end of the sidewalk. Then I would wave them in, and up they would run or ring the door bell (usually several times) for me to open the door. Simeon would explain "Trick or Treat" really well, while Joe managed "Treat" or just a nice "please?" They would do this about 3-4 times, and then they would take a seat on the sidewalk, and attempt to break into the candy that had been given to them for the trial runs. It was hilarous watching them run back and forth, racing to see who could get to the door first to either knock on the door, or ring the door bell.
Simeon got dressed first. We had several fights over his fireman of hat of who was going to get to wear it. I think at one point, Joe thought he wasn't going to get to wear a costume. Then I pulled out Simeon's Shrek costume from the year before, and man was he elated! "Shrek?" as if saying for me Mom? I was nervous I was going to have to fight him to get it on. Let's just say, I couldn't snap the snaps quick enough.
So off set "Joey Shrek" as Simeon called him, and Fireman Shrek. We visited about 6 housed of people that we knew, and had a great time, knocking on doors, and collection our delisious treats. After each house, Joseph was ready to stop and take a candy break. :) By the end of the night, and Joseph was pooped. But Simeon would have gone all night long....
