Trick or Treat in the junction

Every year since J was a baby we have taken him/them to the local business area for some daylight trick-or-treating the Saturday before Halloween. Jaden decided to be Buzz Lightyear this year and was all decked out except we couldn't find his Buzz goggles (found them today though!). Bryson refused to wear the lion costume that Jaden looked absolutely adorable in when he was 22 mo. old.


So he settled on the giraffe costume that Jaden wore the following year, which was probably just as good since I don't think it would fit my big boy next year anyway. So much for my plan to have Bryson following in his big brothers Halloween costume footsteps (and saving some $)!

Lots of Halloween candy, a hockey game where he got home pretty late, and a busy birthday party today makes Jaden a very cranky little boy this evening!

The best part of this time of year? Raiding your children's Halloween candy after they have gone to bed. Didn't think I was going to say the look of joy on my children's faces seeing them trick-or-treating did you?
