Hectic, but Happy Haunting

I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween. Friday was hectic to say the least. I started off by putting the finishing touches on Nick's costume. Then, coaxing him into said costume when we arrived at his MDO for a Halloween party. He was resistant at first, but the moment he got a compliment, he just grinned and really worked the crowd. Compliments from Mommy apparently don't count. Next up was putting him down for a nap since he would be up later than usual. This is always a challenge as he doesn't really take naps anymore (it certainly isn't from lack of trying on my part). He did manage an hour nap after much squawking in his room. After his nap, we went "trick a treaking" at a few houses in our neighborhood. We've been trying to explain to Nick the whole month how this trick or treating thing works, but I don't think he really understood. But after the 2nd house, you could see the moment it clicked in his head. It a wonderful thing to witness.

We went over to the Kaisers afterwards for some delicious chili dogs and more trick or treating. Nick loves going over there. He and Hanna get along really well, they're both pretty laid back when they play. You'd think the candy would stand out most to Nick from that night. Instead, he is still asking about Jason's truck (we took that around the neighborhood.) Thanks to the Kaisers for having us over. They are always such gracious hosts, and we always enjoy hanging out with them. Check out Heidi's post here and click here to see more from our photo gallery.
