Apples and Tootsie-pops

Friday night was our wards Trunk-or-Treat because on Saturday night we had stake conference. Really. We had stake conference on Halloween. It's okay. I'm over it. Hugh, Asher and I all went dressed as characters from the children's book The Paperbag Princess, which you should read if you haven't because it's fantastic. Here I am as Princess Elizabeth:

Here's Hugh as Prince Ronald:

And, as you saw in the previous post, Asher was the dragon:

Of all the treats that Asher got at the Trunk-or-Treat, he was most excited about the miniature glow stick and the apple--probably just because he doesn't actually know what's in all those wrappers, which I'm sure will not be the case for long.

And, Saturday evening, we took him Trick-or-Treating for about half an hour. He went out with his two favorite friends, Spencer (the cowboy), and Chase (the chimney sweep).

Everybody on the one street that we covered melted at the sight of them. I can't really blame them. I mean, imagine this:

except multiplied by three.

Of all the treats Asher collected, I was most excited about the Tootsie-pops. Somebody even gave us a pomegranate-flavored one. It was divine. I even made it almost all of the way to the Tootsie Roll center before crunching.
