Elizabeth went as Ladybug Girl and corrected everyone who told her that she was a cute little ladybug. “No! I’m LULU!”
She had a great time trick or treating. This was her fourth Halloween, her third time trick-or-treating, the second time she said “trick-or-treat” and “thank you” and the first time you could actually hear her say those things. (Previous years, she was too shy.)
Ryan, I mean Bumblebee Boy, came trick-or-treating too. He didn’t really participate much.
Elizabeth’s trick-or-treat treat that stood out was a…wait, what do you call these things? A noisemaker? A party blower? I have no idea. Well, she loved it. After we got home, she would answer the door, hand out the candy, and then, as they were walking away, she’d shout “wait!” and when they turned around, blow this thing in their direction. I laughed a lot.
I turned off our lights after nine, when the appropriately aged trick-or-treaters ought to have been home in bed. The last set was two teenaged girls. Elizabeth opened the door, looked them up and down, and said “are you kids or mommys?” And that is the sign that you are too old to trick-or-treat.

My husband says a kid who can use a cell phone is too old to trick or treat. But definitely the “are you a mom” test, too!
Excellent costume choices. We have one of the Ladybug Girl books, and Kalena’s a big fan.
That is a very good trick or treat test! Smart girl! I wanted to not give candy to the teenagers who weren’t even dressed up. But then we’d be the house with the cranky old lady and would probably get egged
Adorable! I love Dibits’ costume and her charm.
Chuckles on Dibits telling people to wait so that she could blow the whatchamacallit in their direction and for Dibits asking if the teenagers were moms. She’s awesome.
AAAAAHDORABLE, as always! Tell Elizabeth I hope Lulu comes to my house next week!
Haha, I love Elizabeth’s question to the older kids. She’s a tough candy giver!
Best. Line. Ever.
She needs to come regulate at my house. Anna is too excited about everyone. No discrimination!
So cute! The ladybug costume looks amazing!
Wow, there were still people out at nine? Our town emphasizes trick-or-treating is from 6-8 and everyone shuts their lights off at 8.
Our town doesn’t put out any guidelines. I wish they did. It’s confusing this way. No one really starts until it gets dark, except for a few very little kids. We didn’t go out until we saw a few other people out and that wasn’t until it was already seven.
She’s the best.
I wish trick-or-treating hours were earlier. Ours ended at 9 as well and we did not stay up.
