Happy Halloween

Christopher was a giraffe for the party at school on Tuesday. He hated the costume and cried a lot. So for Friday day at school he was a pumpkin. And for trick or treat - we changed costumes to be a pirate. He liked that costume the most. He loves to wear a toboggan hat. So we put the bandanna on the toboggan. He also was very fond of the pirate sword.

We went to Angela's house on Halloween night and walked around with her kids. Christopher started out in the stroller - we stopped at each house and got out of the stroller to go to the door. I have a rule that if your kid is too little to walk to the house - then they are too little to get candy. After the first few houses - he decided that he would walk. He did a great job. He told everyone "thank you" -- though he doesn't talk very loudly. He couldn't say Happy Halloween -but did say "Halloween" or "Hi" when he came to the house. He was a little afraid of some of the other costumes - he was not afraid of the witches or bloody killer costumes -- but there was a kid dressed like a werewolf that he was afraid to pass on the sidewalk.

Ang's little girl - Olivia. My camera died so I do not have pictures of the other kids.

One house gave him a CapriSun juice box. It made his bag heavy - so I was going to take it out and put it in the stroller -- He said "Mine, Mine". So he carried the heavy bag.

We then went to Ang's house to wait for the parade. The fire department leads a parade to the VFW where they have a Halloween party with treats, prizes and snacks. Christopher loved the firetruck and was not afraid of the sirens. He walked behind the firetruck all the way. Then he wanted to look at it up close. The fireman let him look around inside of the truck. He had a fun night all around.
