Happy Halloween!

Halloween was a fun day. We started with the Halloween cheer when Gavin and his 4 daycare pals come by in the morning to trick or treat. They were all so cute and Gavin was in his Mr. Incredible costume. He was so excited to show the kids the house and he looked too cute all buffed out in his outfit. Too bad I had to be on a conference call. I jumped off for 5 minutes to hang out then I had to get back on. I forgot to take a picture! Bad move.

Nana and Papa Meyer showed up in the afternoon to see Gavin trick or treat. We ordered pizza and got out the box of costumes. I did the doctor scrubs and Steve had a scary mask. Angela and Jeremy came over again with the boys and it was starting to get dark. We stuffed our faces with pizza and were getting ready to get on the costumes again. However, Gavin would not get in his costume. What to do? Force him? No. Bribe him? Yes, but it didn't work. Nana came down just for trick or treating and Gavin was having nothing to do with it. I tried last year's costume. I tried the fake dread hat. Too bad I didn't have fake spray on hair dye. I could have just sprayed that on and call it a day. We tried putting 10 glowstick necklaces on him and called him a glow stick boy but that lastest about 30 seconds. So what did we do? We said screw it. We are going trick or treating without the costume. Who cares. He is 2.

So Gavin went trick or treating and bum rushed each house walking inside, tried to take the whole basket of some folks. In the end, I think he had a fun time. He got a decent amount of little candy treats and no one seemed to care he didn't have a costume. I think we were more embarrased than Gavin. I was dressed up so that counts right?

Now each day Gavin asks, can I have my pumpkin? Or can I have my trick or treat? His favorite candy is the twix. He helped us pass out candy and would precisely pick out each twix bar to give to the kids. He obviously hasn't learned my trick on Halloween yet.....pass out the candy you don't like so you can keep the candy you like! Well, it didn't matter anyway since we ran out of candy.

The rest of the weekend we played around town. beach with Went to theNana, had a picnic, went downtown, watched movies and got Nana to play Wii. Hula hoop isn't her game but she did rock the Bowling. Papa was sick the entire weekend and was glued to the sofa. I disinfected the area once he left. haha.

It was a fun weekend. We ended it with Sunday night movie night. Movie pick of the day... was Monster's Inc. Gavin didn't wake up in the middle of the night screaming so that was good. He was a little scared but he liked it.













I think it has been almost a week that he hasn't come into our room at night. The night time pitter patter may be ending. Daylight savings didn't help us though. He was up at 5am. Ugh.
