3rd Halloween

Yep, it's been too long again, I'm sorry.  I really hope once mommy finishes her Master's degree that she can get back to doing these posts more often.  It's honestly not that I forget--it's the lack of time.
Anyhow, tonight was your 3rd Halloween!  Despite the fact that just the other day it was nice enough to let you wear shorts and go to the park, today it snowed and was super windy!  It's the worst weather of the entire week; the snow was just blowing around, no accumulation--still not a nice sight for Halloween.  Thus, we made sure to give you a good warm layer underneath your fireman costume and daddy bought you some nice warm mittens that matched your outfit perfectly!
We--being you, me, daddy, and uncle Kevin--took you to the same area as last year, then finished by coming down Canyon Trail to return to the house.  You had a lot of fun, just not a fan of the wind constantly trying to push your hat down on your face.  We had to carry you on our shoulders quite a bit, since there would be strings of houses without lights on. Next year I think we'll take the wagon, because you'll probably be too big by then for us to carry anymore!  You were pretty good about saying "trick-or-treat" and "thank you" when prompted, and even on your own a couple of times.
Once we had finished, we stopped by the house to freshen up and then headed out in the car to go have dinner at Anyway's--they were offering a free kid's meal for those who were in costumes.  In the short time it takes to get over there, you managed to fall asleep and catnap!  At the restaurant, you were very good, sat right next to daddy, and ate some of both of our plates (celery from the appetizer, daddy's fries, and mommy's rice), but none of the pizza we ordered for you lol.  Oh well, no big deal :)
Back at home, we watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" and "Ghostbusters" while you ate lots of candy.  Yay for a great 3rd Halloween, buddy!
