Halloween Fun

Halloween was great! Nathan went as Darth Vader, and dh took him around trick or treating. I stayed home and passed out candy.

Boy, did I have a lot of older kids! When their voices are as deep as dh's, I have to wonder what they're doing trick or treating. And I even had some grown ups asking for candy too! LOL!

It was cold last night, and I had a hard time getting Nathan to wear a coat, but I finally found one of my navy hoodies with thermal lining that I could wrap him up in, and a pair of gloves. Since the hoodie was so dark, it looked black outside, and didn't detract from the costume, and the hood was hidden under Darth's cape. He also had layers of clothes under the costume. He still looked like a little ice cube when he got home. And dh looked exhausted. They must have walked three miles.

This is the first year that the scary part of Halloween didn't seem to bother Nathan at all! I was glad of that. He went to a couple houses where the families made a big deal out of their decorations, including one house that had people in costume in their front yard that you had to walk past in order to get to the door to trick or treat. In past years, Nathan would have frozen and refused to budge, but this year he marched right past them.

(My little baby is growing up!) :*)

I was passing out candy last night, and went through one mega bag, and started on a second one. That's a lot of kids! We had this candy bowl with a skeleton head in it, and it would talk and sing (..."I ain't got no body...") It was quite funny, and a real hit with the trick or treaters - their parent escorts, too! Some hung around for a little bit, playing with the skeleton.

I love this time of year!
