The butterflies a.k.a. our children had so much fun trick or treating. The costumes turned out great - wings all glittery - and Alena was so excited to ring the door bells. "Trick or Treat please..." and then both girls just loved to look at each candy to decide which one they wanted. They just loved to decide whether they wanted the yellow, or orange package. Alena told a few people "I cannot have this, but it's fund to pick a piece of candy out..." It was so sweet...
OK,
OK I know every mother says that about her own kids, but it really was sweet. Our route was up-and-down our block and towards the end I had to carry Mia Rosie's bag. It was THAT heavy :) Back home we first looked through Alena's huge pile. Alena and I sorted out the "Good" from the "Bad". Amazing to me that she knows most of the candies she cannot eat. In the end she traded 30 "Bad" candies for 30 "Good" candies (OK - Alena did not get 30 pieces in return but around 20), besides that she still had 20+ "Good" candies. Mia Rose had a little over 20 "Bad" candies... they certainly made out very well. Oh, and if you are wondering the "Bad" candy is now being consumed mainly by me...and I certainly don't need it ;)
Unfortunately they did not only pick-up candy treats, but also picked-up a nasty cold. Alena came down with a bad cough and fever yesterday. Today both girls have a fever and both slept almost the entire afternoon. FYI - we did go to our physician's office today and she was quite sure that it is not H1N1. We just hope that it is not and that we can keep the flu away until we get the vaccine....
P.S.: I would love to hear your trick or treat stories :)
