Our three little paratroopers had a blast this Halloween. After our usual stops, we headed over to the Tacky’s, and had a little food and fun just before dark. Then it was time to take off for the real fun. This year, Scout and Navy went out on their own. They both had groups of kids their same gender and age to head out with, and I would catch them every once in a while as they ran from house to house.
But the most fun this year was seeing Dash in action.
This boy had it down to a science!
He charmed everyone and had his saying all right.
At first I would head to the doors with him, but then he took some solo missions which melted everyone!
He would walk slowly, and then say, “Twick or Tweet”.
After getting double the amount of candy because they loved him, he would say, “Tee Too” then turn around and say “Happy HOW….WEEN!” as he headed down the walkway and to the next house.
It was honestly the cutest thing you have ever seen.

When we all congregated again, Scout was beyond excited about his massive quantity of candy.
When I asked how much he had already eaten, he said in the don’t-you-know tone, “None.”
The apple fell far on this one.
And when I asked Navy how it was, she loved it.
But a little birdie (AKA a mother with the group) said, “That girl is a character!”
I already know this, but I asked why?
And she told me that at every single house, Navy would fake throw up or fake cry until the house owner asked her if she was alright.
When they did, she got a huge smile across her face and said, “I’m just tricking!”
She literally caught everyone in her little spun web of whatever you want to call it!

The kids spent the night going through their candy and sorting it, and I spent the night picking out all of the good stuff.
Meanwhile, Pippi stayed at home with the Nonster and B.
I was sad to leave her behind, because she was going to be the baby that came down from the sky in a basket and a parachute…right alongside the three others.
But even I thought that four days out of the hospital and barely 5 lbs was pushing it.
