Happy Halloween !

We saw quite a lot more acion this Halloween than originally intended. My son did not seem to feel well when I arrived at his granny's after work to pick him up. He was sleeping and difficult to wake up, so it appeared that between his cold and the rain the goody hunt was off. As we headed to the car, my boy woke up. I aked if he still wanted to go with granny around her neighborhood. He perked right up and away they went on her buggy.

My little fire fighter enjoyed the trick-or-treating and asked to do more. On the way to his grandma's I decided, "What the heck?" and stopped at a few houses on the road to the highway. Well, he racked up. The only glitch came when my direct 4-year old told one woman (after much deliberation and noting that the candy looked different) that he'd come back when she had the "right" kind of candy. Thus we began a conversaton in the car about people doing this for children to enjoy Halloween and the need for politeness. He acknowledged the need for curtesy, but maintained that she did not have the right kind of candy. LOL! That's my boy!

He kept me going until about 7:40. We picked up his daddy and did a few more stops. Finally about 8:00 p.m. we knocked off and headed to Krystals for some bring home supper. I enjoyed it but felt dead tired! Three humorous things that happened. One - there were two people on a porch with a scary dummy holding their candy bowl. When my son went to get the candy, the dummy moved! Turned out to be a person after all. Scared us both. Two - he kept telling everyone that asked if he was a firefighter that "it's just a costume." Three - one man asked him to put out the fire in his jack-o-lantern since he was a fireman. It took several puffs, but my little man finally succeeded. He laughed and took pride in his work!
