Halloween

This year Ian was really looking forward to Halloween.  He's been counting down to Halloween since last Friday.  He also has been enjoying all of the Halloween decor throughout the neighborhood.

We started our festivities on Monday when carved our pumpkins.  I figured we'd just make some faces in our pumpkins but boy was I wrong.  Before we started Ian declared that one pumpkin would be a spider and the other would be a bat.  So that is what he got.  He was very excited when they were all finished.

Today, Ian was ready to hit the streets soon after we got home from school.   Before we headed out Ian did comment that he needed a firetruck and we had to explain that there wasn't a fire truck his size.  He has inquired about a fire truck several times since we decided to be a fire fighter for Halloween but I thought he was over it, guess not.  Ian went to many more houses than he did last year and he was really enjoying himself.  Like usual he had some funny "one-liners".

After walking up to one gentleman we said "What do you say" (Attempting to prompt "Trick of Treat") and Ian said, "Thank you".  The gentleman chuckled and said, "You mean Trick or Treat". Ian's response? "Yeah".  No trick or treat or anything.

Then just a few houses later, an older lady said "Will you help put out a fire since you are a Fire Fighter?"  Ian said (in his typical Ian matter of fact fashion), "No. I don't have a firetruck"

So overall it was a great Halloween.  A little on the cool side but the rain stopped long enough for us to get out and walk around.  This was the first Halloween Ian really enjoyed himself and I can't wait to see how excited he'll get next year.
