4.2: Halloween
Halloween was a little rushed this year. Last week was downright crazy, making up for Rex and I being out of town half the week and the weekend before. I thought I had things well in hand, but I just hadn't looked carefully enough at the calendar to see what was ahead. On top of that, it was cold and rainy most of the week, making decorating ahead of time impossible.
On the up side, everything that had to be done got that way. We had friends come on Saturday that go above and beyond even our usual heathen celebration. No one lost their shit (except Owen, when I tried to get all three kids in one picture. And even that made me laugh a bit.) There was tons of candy.
And we had FUN.
Owen really got into Trick-or-Treating this year. At the very first house, he managed to get up to the front of our herd of kids, but wasn't sure what to do after something was dropped into his bag. He just stood there, staring at the man who had given him something. After about 30 seconds, the man asked if Owen wanted more. "More?" Owen repeated, after the man generously dropped in another treat.
After that, he tried his best to run with the big kids. He held his bag out expectantly, and he said thank you when prompted.
And every now and then, he'd pipe up with an adorable little "More?"
