Halloween


This was Scott's first Halloween where he understood what was happening. Scott was a skeleton, he used the same costume his Daddy used when he was his age, and Iris was a very cute chubby lady bug.

A week before halloween we had a trunk or treat at the branch, this was a good primer for him. He loved the candy! We decided to use the candy as potty incentives. By the end of week the candy was gone and we were ready to get some more!

Scott is still a novice halloweener, he was ready to go home after only four houses! I made us go to few more houses before we called it quites. The first thing Scott did when he got home was to dump out all his candy on the floor and see what he got.

When I was a girl I was a professional halloweener. My Dad was very serious about getting halloween candy. We would go for hours, my Mom would drive the car and Dad would walk along with us. When we would get cold we would warm up in the car for a few minutes and then keep going. I can remember times when I wanted to stop and go home and Dad wouldn't let us.
