Exhibit A
He looks cute, huh? Little man was so excited to be outside and didn't even know what we were going to be doing that Halloween night! So our little party started walking...Charlotte and Daddy hand in hand (this holiday kind of freaks her out).
We dutifully said our "trick-or-treats" at the first doorstep, and Charlotte took a piece of candy and placed it in her bag. Being the experienced trick-or-treater that she thinks she is, she proceeded to show Jonas what to do. We really hit the jackpot with the first house. They were passing out full sized candy bars. Jonas walked away with a Hershey bar in hand and was in no way going to let go of it. House number two...each kid grabbed a piece of candy. Now Jonas had his Hershey bar in one hand and Nerds or something in the other. He was a happy kid...as long as no one tried to take his candy. House number three created a bit of a dilemma because Jonas only has two, very small hands. There just isn't room to carry three pieces. Charlotte and him both took a piece.
We then took his piece of candy and put it in his bag. Then the night turned very frightening! This is the reaction we got: crying, trying to run away, foot stomping, and candy throwing.
We dealt with this scenario after EVERY house. The poor kid did not understand why his parents kept taking his candy. We tried letting him hold the bag. We tried letting him hold a piece of candy in each hand. But with Jonas, it's all or nothing!
I would like to have a talk with the person who first said taking candy from a baby is easy because they obviously did not go trick-or-treating with my baby!
It was still a fun evening though. While we were out we ran into Charlotte's friend and they were joined at the hip for the rest of the night.
Isn't she a cute kitty cat? I know she's not smiling in any of the pictures. Like I said...she is a little leery about Halloween.

well with your normally sweet, happy dad looking the way adam looked, i'd be a little leery too!
Poor Jonas! Charlotte is an adorable kitty cat. I like the face paint. (Great job!) I was thinking that Adam was going to be a ghost. The costumes looks great and it sounds like it was a good night for you guys.
That's so funny. Poor little guy!
So cute! I'm glad you guys had a fun night and that Adam could be with you!
"Taking candy from a baby" reminds me of the phrase...
"She/ he slept like a baby!" That could mean something totally different if you're referring to a newborn that doesn't sleep too good. haha Anyway, I love their costumes! So cute! :)
Charlotte's face in the first picture is CLASSIC!
