Last night was so fun, and there were so many things I wish I could just freeze in time so I could remember them forever. Callie thought she was a princess with her hair curled and dressed up in her Little Red Riding Hood costume. She was scared of some of the people wearing black robes or scary costumes on their front porches but went to every house. Grayson was so excited and so proud of his Optimus Prime costume...he took it very seriously and really thought he was Optimus Prime for the night! He was hilarious talking to every kid we passed, and he has eaten most of his bucket of candy already! John took the night, though....last year he wasn't old enough to walk, so this was his first year walking it. He is absolutely f.e.ar.l.e.s.s. He wasn't scared of any costume, any noise or scary decoration; no fog machine or jackolantern could sway him once he discovered he said those three magic words (which sounded like "Dwick Dwee" when he said it) and scored candy in his bag. Between houses, he would hold his bag open and look down into, sometimes so into it he veered off into the grass beside the pavement. He was absolutely fascinated with this event.....walking from house to house getting candy from strangers! He loved it, and all three kids passed out as soon as we got home, still in their costumes.....there is nothing cuter on earth.
So all in all, great Halloween with great friends and great kids! It' going to be hard next year without Janet, Troy, and Christian.
