Friday night we took the boys trick or treating. Usually there are a dozen or so houses participating in our neighborhood area and we don't walk more than a few blocks.
This year, the participants were scarce, I don't know if it was due to the football game or what, but we ended up walking up town, to the fire station and beyond. Jackson had a great time trick or treating and it truly felt like a small victory to me.
It doesn't seem like it was that long ago, that I bought him the $40 Buzz Lightyear Costume at Disney only to have him freak out and not want to wear it or have ANYTHING to do with Halloween. I'm pretty sure that was the year he turned 2...he slept through Halloween the year he was 3. Finally the year he was 4, we dressed him up as a cowboy and he tolerated it a bit more....a couple of years ago, he rode his 2 wheeler dressed as kermit the frog...and of course this year he's thrilled to be Spiderman!
All this rambling really boils down to how wonderful it was for us to be able to enjoy the evening as a family. Everyone had a good time, and it's now a happy memory!
