First Halloween in Falls Church

With almost all our candy gone and Boyd in bed I thought I'd quick share a bit about our Halloween. Boyd was privileged to have worn two of his costumes today. He chose his Lobster for school and UPS man outfit for trick or treating. We were quite surprised he didn't pick his Buzz Lightyear costume which he's been talking about for weeks. Maybe he wanted his costumes to be original since a kid at school wore the Buzz costume. I loved all his costumes and so did others. With Boyd underneath you can't help but love them.

Boyd began his day by opening up his piggy bank on his own. I heard him repeating, "I'm the claw" followed by jingling and walked into this sight. He's been very into money and coins lately contemplating what it is and its value.

Here is Boyd with one of his teachers, Marisol, during their special snack before their parade(Boyd somehow pigged out on two in the time everyone else ate one- what a way to start the afternoon-SUGAR!!!). I had to include this because she made the comment that Boyd's real eyes were as big as the costumes. I agree.

Boyd took a detour and found this great leaf pile to jump in.

Leaving Halloween part 1 with dad.

Thanks for the stickers Emmie and Ozzie Papa. Mom will ignore the fact that they are dogs.

Our strongman snuck our stash of candy off the counter before the start of trick or treating.

Decorating his UPS package. I tried to correct his grasp on the marker and he said, "Can I at least do it this way at home?" He knows the correct way and has small group practice time at school.

Trick or Treat!

After two houses Boyd announced, "I'm done. I want to stay at home with Mommy and see the other trick or treaters". This was code for, "I want to eat my candy now." Adam took him out for more but he was a sneak with eating lots of "last one" candy. He would also run out and add more candy to other peoples buckets. He took his UPS job very seriously.
