Back at home, Maddie and Max took turns handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters, of which there were 343.

Each kid was told to "Take 2" and both kids wanted it to go all night.

After finishing the block, the crew headed over to their Preschool for Trunk Or Treat, where various people lines up their cars, trunks open and decorated, and hand out candy to the kiddos.

Slappy Loves Her Costume

From the second that Maddie's costume arrived, she has been thrilled, putting it on every morning and afternoon.

She also loves to plop down as it fluffs up all around her.

It also came with a great, but rarely worn, hat.

Right before bed, Max got it into his head he was going to the Tiki Room at Disneyland. He put on his shoes, and kept telling Sam to, "Hurry, quickly, Dad! We're going to the Tiki Tiki Room." When Dad didn't hurry fast enough, Max attempted to speed things along.
