Happy Halloween


We had a great Halloween! This year Jack wanted to be a zebra because he loves animals! Gulp! How was I ever going to find a zebra costume that will fit a 5 year old?!?! But we did find a very scary werewolf costume, and since a wolf is an animal, Jack decided it would work. Whew! Will's costume was a no-brainer. Our little monkey had to be a monkey!

We started the night off at our neighborhood's annual Halloween party. We met all the other ghosts, goblins, superheros, witches, and princesses at the clubhouse for pizza and playing. Then the trick or treating began. Jack and his friend M, aka Darth Vader, had the best time running from house to house and reporting back which house had the best candy. Will knew the drill after the first house...he would run up the driveway, say tick teet, and start digging into the candy bowl. That kid loves treats! We walked around with M's parents and enjoyed our own adult treats. My first year trick or treating with a glass of wine, but it won't be my last!

Both boys were in great moods so we stayed out trick or treating for about 2 hours. Then back home to check out the loot. Will was so excited to get pops (lollipops) as those are his favorite candy. He ate 3 pops last night when we got home. Jack really scored this year! And being a boy after my own heart, his favorites were the chocolate!
