After a long time of waiting, one of Will's favorite holidays was finally here. This week was a really busy week and Will also had a really bad cold and didn't feel well, but that wasn't going to stop him from his big day. Mommy was starting to come down with Will's cold, but she had to find some energy to make this a special day for the boys. The morning started out with Pumpkin Day at Will's school, which there is more about that below. As soon as we had dinner and it started getting dark (probably around 7:00pm) the boys put their costumes on and out the door we went to trick or treat in our neighborhood. We were a little worried that Landon wouldn't keep his costume on, but he did and he even kept the hat on the whole time. We think that Landon thought he had to keep his hat on to get candy. Whatever works!! This was the first year that Chad has not been out of town for work on Halloween, which was nice. Our neighborhood really went all out for Halloween. A lot of the homes were decorated with lights and blow ups and everyone was so nice. We only went down one street, which isn't even 1/4 of the neighborhood, but that was enough for the boys and they got more than enough candy. Landon ate lollipops (probably 4 or 5) the entire time the boys were trick or treating. He would have the lollipop in one hand and his candy bucket in the other. Sometimes he would try to hold his orange flash light too. It was so cute and he was as happy as could be. Will was just on cloud nine that his favorite holiday was here. He was the leader and told us which houses to stop at (the one's with the lights on), which was just about every one.
Landon was Thomas the Train and Will was Spiderman. Here we are getting ready to head out the door.
This is all the candy they got. It doesn't look like much from this picture, but trust us it is plenty. We'll be eating on it for weeks.
Here is Landon trying to put two lollipops in his mouth. He was in heaven.
Two tired boys!!
This picture was taken after the boys ate some candy and danced around a little bit. Landon found a little pouch in his costume to put his juice in.
We hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween. We missed trick or treating with all of our family this year, but thank you for all the special treats that you mailed to us.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Looks like you had a successful evening, your boys are so cute
Great looking outfits there guys. Hope you racked up a lot of candy for mommy and daddy, lol.
The pictures turned out great! Halloween was really special. Thank you for sharing it with me. Your neighborhood was so much fun. What a great night.
The picture of Will as Curious George warms my heart as I remember all the times we read and reread all of those stories. I'm so pleased he rememberd. He had the best costume and character by far. I loved when he slapped my hand as he proudly marched by!
The night was pure magic for Landon. The picture of him putting both of those pops in his mouth at the same time is priceless. Pure Landon. I really enjoyed the one on one time we spent together while you were at school.
The time the three of us spent at the park was very special as well. So many great new memories!
I still have a cold and I'm drinking my tea how about all of you? Colds and all I miss you already.
Hugs all around,
nini
