Happy Halloween!!

We had a very fun Halloween today! This we definitely the most fun Halloween yet. O has been talking about it and building up to it for a few weeks, and the day finally arrived today. 

 He was very excited for his parade and party at school this afternoon.  The dragon costume fit perfect and was AMAZING!  Grandma did a wonderful job on it (of course).  Everyone, and I mean everyone, he saw today commented that it was the best costume they saw all day.  He was proud!



Heading out for the parade.

O was captivated by his own shadow in the costume.  He like how it was bigger than him, like he was growing.

After we got home, we headed out trick or treating for his first time.  We hit some neighbor's houses and some businesses near the house.  He had so much fun!  We all did.  I was skeptical that he might still be too young, but I was 100% wrong, and I am so glad that we went out.

Heading out.


Long trip up the steps
Along the way, he would stop every once in a while to "count" his candy.  Every time, he counted... one, two, three, four, five!  
Checking out the stash.
He got pretty tired near the end, but still was having a blast.  We heard "one more house" at least five times.

When we got back home, he set right to sorting the candy to check out his haul.  After piece by piece sorting, he ended up with about 20 pieces of candy he "likes" and one "yucky thing" (a lollipop).  Not surprisingly, chocolate is his favorite.  He even got to eat a Reese's cup tonight.

Fun, fun, fun Halloween!

I was remiss in the original Halloween posting - Nan is here!  She arrived Wed afternoon, and had a blast with O yesterday too!

I sure do miss the days when Noah would wear cute costumes instead of scary ones! O looks so adorable. Great job on the costume Grandma!
