We started our Halloween fun this year by going to Greeley West's Trick or Treat Street. We were able to meet up with all of Josh's old work buddies, and Kyler got to experience Trick-or-Treating for the very first time. At first he was a little timid, but he then began to realize what was going on. Again, he didn't care much for all of the scary-type things like skeletons, monsters, and bloody gore. He was sure to hang on to us tightly when those things came into sight. (He has also been obsessed with monsters. Lately, Kyler has been afraid of the dark and telling me he has monsters in his room. The other day as we were passing by the cemetery he pointed and said, "Monsters over there." That was kind of creepy for Josh and I. Maybe kids do have that "sixth sense".)
On Saturday night, we resumed our annual pumpkin carving party and had a few good friends over for drinks and dinner. Only a few people carved pumpkins, but we had a good time. We were the pirate family!
And of course Josh's pumpkin had to fit the theme!
My pirate boys!Then on Sunday, we took Kyler Trick-or-Treating around our neighborhood to our immediate neighbors' houses. He loved it, not to mention, many of them had made "special" goodie bags for him! Then for the rest of the evening we answered the door for the 200+ Trick-or-Treaters that came to our door!
All in all, we had a fabulous Halloween, and it has made me realize the many joys that children bring to a household. Not only are we looking forward to an exciting holiday season, but we are also looking forward to expanding our family, which, in turn, will multiply the joy in our house (as well as the occasional headache)!
