Halloween


Gavin didn't really get Halloween last year. He loved running around the block, climbing stairs and knocking on doors. He just never wanted to wait for the candy. So I had pretty low expectations this year. I was hoping he would look cute, which our course he did, see for yourself; and I was hoping he would knock on a few doors and actually say trick or treat. No only did he exceed my expectations he managed to charm the whole neighborhood and got way too much candy. At each house it went something like this: 
Gavin: Trick or treat
Neighbor: Oh aren't you just the cutest cow. Here pick which candy you want
Gavin: Oh boy (at which point he reaches into the candy bowl and takes as much as his hand can hold)
Me: Gavin, take one please and say thank you
Gavin: Thank you 
Neighbor: Oh he's so sweet, that's OK you can have a few, in fact here take a few more.

By the 5th house his pumpkin was full and Gavin was just getting started. Halfway through he had so much cany he couldn't even carry the pumpkin anymore. I had to carry it and he would drag it up to the doors to get more. Good thing is since we don't let him have all that much candy he was happy with the handful of M&M's he had when we got home and pretty much forgot all about the rest of the candy. Great for Gavin not so good for mommy and daddy 'cause we ate it all.


Spencer as usual slept through it all but was cute as a button
