It's Just a Costume....

So, Friday night was Halloween as you all know. I went on the town with the two cutest McKids around. Carter was a carton of McDonald's french fries, which is appropriate. That boy could eat french fries...specifically from McDonald's....for every meal of every day. Ella Claire was a McDonald's chocolate milkshake...which again is appropriate. The girl loves chocolate....of any kind...she is being raise right!
We started off by going to see Granny at her work...it is tradition to take them and let all her coworkers see her pride and joy. Then it was on to the hospital to let Lance see them and his coworkers as well. We then loaded up and headed to our church carnival. This was our first year doing trunk or treat. Each car we would come to, they would make a comment on the kid's costumes. Most people would ask for a french fry because they were so hungry and a sip because they were so thirsty. Carter's immediate response each time was..."It's just a costume..." He is one literal child. He can't deviate from routine or the norm...it's just not in him.
We left the church and headed to McDonald's to eat in the hopes of getting some free food with the 2 cutest commercials they had ever seen. No suck luck...it is Gastonia after all.
We rounded out the night with a stop at Grandmommy and PawPaw's and then to aunt Lea Ann's. These kids got more candy than they could carry. It has all since been eaten...all the chocolate anyway. Boy...do those kids eat a lot of candy....Lance and I didn't get one piece! (If you believe that, I feel sorry for you.)
Lance has already decided that Luke and Leah will make their grand entrance for Halloween 2009...we'll see! He also wanted to name them Luke and Leah...but it was vetoed!!!!
