2Lams: Halloween: Is it okay in my book?

I really dislike Halloween. It's creepy, strange, not meaningful, and a wasted day at school. Ya, ya.. baa humbug.

BUT. My Aiden loved Halloween this year. Therefore....... I enjoyed it :)

He picked out his own costume. And Emmitt's :)

Look at my superheros!! So awesome. Okay. Halloween isn't so bad..

Aiden actually enjoyed trick or treating this year! He was super excited to ring the doorbell. He had a smile plastered on his face the whole time. He would say "Trick-or-Treat" and after they put candy in his bucket he would say, "Trick-or.... I mean Thank You!" So stinking cute.

It was really cold, so E and daddy went back home after a couple houses. Aiden and Mommy got to dominate the neighborhood though!! We had so much fun together. He was a chatterbox. At one point we saw a kid dressed up pretty scary and Aiden looks at me with a big smile on his face, grabs my hand, and yells "Monster! Run mom!" And we did. And we laughed the whole time until we had to stop because I was about to pee my pants.

After I couldn't feel my fingers anymore I forced him to go back home. The only way I could get him back there was to say he could help me pass out candy. Well. Of course, he was all about this. It's taking on the role of an adult. Aiden's hobby.

He sat by the door and just stared outside. He even started flashing the lights when people came down our street to get them to come to our house. HA!

A couple kids, probably elementary age, came to our door and he opened it and said, "Okay boys, what do you say?" After they said "Trick-or-treat" (and rolled their eyes) Aiden goes, "Wow, you have some really great costumes there, you look great!"
