Candy!




Our Halloween started with pumpkin carving! Yes, a bit behind but, it didn't stop us and Logan sure loved to stick his hands in the cold pumpkin goo. Last year may have been Logan's first Halloween. But, this year was the first time he got to Trick R Treat! We dressed him up as super hero Batman, Daddy was a punk rock clown, and mommy was a referee. Hey why not right? I play referee pretty much on the daily. "Stop hitting!" "Share the toys!" "Tiiiiiiiime OUT!".  This time I was clad in costume! Our first stop was Trunk or Treating in Mountlake Terrace. Cars line up and decorate their trunks and hand out candy. We knew it would be a safe and easy alternative for Logan. Although he didn't feel like walking his little batman boots himself he still really enjoyed it. He even really got the hang of it and yelled out something in the form of baby gibberish that might as well have been "Trick r treat" and reached in candy bowls to select his treat (usually tootsie rolls). After that we hit up the brand new Dick's Drive in to get our budget burger fix! Went home and grabbed our wagon and hit the neighborhood before calling it a night. Logan sure loved to knock on the door and yell until the candy came out. He even invited himself into a nice old ladies house! After we got home we checked out his treat haul and put our little bat boy to bed. Now we have way more candy than anyone in this house needs. But, holiday traditions are so much fun and so important to me! Hope you had a happy Halloween!
