Happy Halloween- Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween! This was our first time celebrating Halloween. We had a great time Trick or Treating with our friends, Jack and Regan. It took Brett and Breandan no time at all to figure out what to do.

These are Brett's step by step instructions for a successful experience:

1. Run as fast as you can to the door.


2. Ring the door bell and try to wait.


3. Say "Trick or Treat as door opens.


4. Visualize the location of the candy bowl- prepare your hands for a quick move.


5. Grab as much candy as you possibility can before they take the bowl away.


6. Turn and run towards the next lighted porch.


7. And, oh yeah- Yell , "Thank You" as you make a quick get away because your mom says so.

By the end of the night Brett's candy bag was twice as a heavy as Breandan's. We were a little nervous that Breandan was going to be scared but he did great. The candy was a great comfort object and motivator. He was also quick to learn how to say "Trick or Treat". He no trouble walking up to each door but ask to be carried as we walk from house to house. He fugured out he could eat more if he didn't have to walk.
