Halloween 2013

As Halloween got closer and closer I had no idea what Jackson should dress up as. I wanted to do the man with the yellow hat and he could carry around his Curious George but apparently they only make that costume for adults. I didn't have the time or energy to craft up my own costume for him this year. After going to the race with Jimmy a couple weekends ago we thought he might like to be a race car driver. Sure enough after mentioning it to him that is what he said he wanted to be every time we asked. He loved wearing his costume and wore it to school on Wednesday.

We went to story time on Thursday morning

 And then trick or treating with Connor and Dillon and Roman and Ryan

 Camden wasn't loving it at first!

Thumbs Up!

Our pumpkins Jimmy carved. Jackson helped scoop the seeds out.

Check out that huge pumpkin this house had out!

Jackson loved trick or treating and wanted to ride in his car between houses and then would run to the door and say "trick or treat"! He was so excited to get candy. He truly only learned what candy was and had some for the first time a few weeks ago. We went to about 20 houses in the neighborhood this year. He got a little upset when we got home and told him he could only have 2 pieces of candy! We only had a few kids come to our door this year. The long driveway must have deterred them! Around 8:45 I turned the lights out since I didn't want Cooper barking. We have so much candy left - I have got to find somewhere to take it to get rid of it!
