Oh, I am beginning to "like" Halloween

Halloween has never been one of my favorite holidays. However, in the past few years now that we have kids, it is really becoming a fun holiday (still not a favorite, but it's at least more fun).

The night before halloween, we carve our pumpkins so they are fresh and beautiful! This year, we had a mummy, frankenstein, bats and the good old standard. This year felt like a Star Wars year so Jackson was Darth Vader and Michael was Chewbaca. They had to be the cutest kids ever!

Jackson had a fun party and parade at school, then Jeremy came and got them both from daycare to bring them to my work for more candy. They had a great time touring my work and getting candy from everyone.

Then, as the clock struck 6pm, and the blow of the horn went off, Jackson and his dad went out to into the darkness to scower the city of free candy. It was pretty cold and windy that night, so Mikey and I decided to hang back and hand out candy. Which he thoroughly enjoyed. He was so excited to hold the candy bucket and pass it out and everyone loved his outfit.

Almost 2 hours later, Jackson and dad showed up with about 15 pounds of teeth-rotting candy. They ran into a kid from Jack's class and his dad so they ended up trick or treating with them. Oh, so much fun. Despite how cold it was, Jackson came back dripping in sweat. Unbelievable!
