Trick-or-Treating

Jackson got a couple of uses out of his dragon costume this last weekend.

Friday after school my aunt called and said the Y was doing trunk or treat, so after dinner we headed over there. Jackson was really unsure about the whole thing. So I just walk around and hold up my pumpkin bucket?

I couldn't get one smile from him. He was just starring at all the other kids walking around. He finally discovered that he could eat what was in his bucket. I think he has had more sugar this last week than in his entire 20 months of life!After we made it around the circle of trunks we took him over to the playground. Then it was non-stop smiles!!

I know what to do here!

On Sunday Louis and Katrina came over for dinner and then went trick-or-treating with us. Hopefully this a tradition that will continue! I made my mom's chicken noodle soup modified just a little served with crackers and cheese, and finished with pumpkin cut out cookies. Brian made special ones for our guests!
We got a few more smiles Sunday night! He loves wearing his costume:)

Once it got dark we head out for some fun. After the first couple of houses Brian ran home to get some water because Jackson was sweating. It was a warm night, especially when wearing a fleece dragon suit with a hood!
Jackson was a lot more into trick-or-treating this time. He would take off running to the next house saying "Go, go, go!"

At the last house (someone Katrina and Louis knew) we stripped Jackson down, let drink some water, and eat a treat. He was drenched in sweat! He walked/rode the rest of the way home in his diaper. Hey, you do what you have to!

The whole gang- Thanks for trick-or-treating with our Louis and Katrina.
