Thirsty?

 

Halloween

Colden loves to hide under tables, behind curtains/doors, around corners...wait for you to get close to him...and then jump out (or peak his head out) and say, "Boo"!

Which was the inspiration behind this year's Halloween costume:

Colden the scary ghost.  

Pillowcase...black marker...Grandpa Howard's artistic touch...and scissors.

The Friday before Halloween, my office hosted a "family trick-or-treat" event, where the kids (and some adults) dressed up and went from office to office trick-or-treating.

Colden had a blast!

He got so much candy, that he could no longer lift his ghost bag.  Instead, he had to drag it along the floor.

After trick-or-treating at my office, Colden was ready for the real deal on Halloween. 

He knew the routine well:

Walk up to a neighbor's house and knock on the door...

Say "Boo" and take some candy...

Say "dank you" (thank you) and head off to the next house...

Colden didn't let the foot of snow we got two days before slow him down.

Colden didn't want to stop trick-or-treating.  He kept asking for "moe" (more).  We were finally able to convince him to settle down by giving him one of his candy bars.

 I think Colden really enjoyed Halloween (and eating candy)!
