Happy Halloween!!

Damon LOVED Trick or Treating this year. Of course it took forever to get him the courage to actually say "Trick or Treat", but at one house, he even made me go back with him so he could say "thank you". He kept telling me he needed more candy that he didn't have enough.

Monday night we carved our pumpkins. Damon dug his hands in and pulled out the insides. He thought they turned out cute:) Friday night was our Trunk or Treat. We had been talking about costumes all month. He wanted to be a werewolf, then he'd howl. Then he wanted to be a baker that drove a bus. Then we went to the dollar store and he got a fireman hat, so that is what he wanted to be. We looked everywhere for the rest of his costume and didn't have any luck. Finally after looking up pictures, I pulled out his coat from the last 2 years (size 12-18 months) and put some masking tape on it...he went CRAZY! He was super excited. It took some encouragement to get him to actually wear the costume in front of people. On Halloween night we went to a few houses in the neighborhood next to us, then to Barrett's bosses house. He goes all out with spooky stuff and said this was his last year, so we had to come by. It was pretty intense, but Damon did fine and we were able to visit for a bit afterwards. He fell asleep on the way home clutching his treat bag. This morning he went right to his bag and started pulling out candy one by one, asking me what it was, then putting it in another bag. He is hilarious!
