Halloween

Carter's Friend

Halloween was alot of fun in our house. Carter was extrememely serious about handing out the candy to the trick or treaters. (We see between 150 & 200 each year). He was not at all scared of any of the costumes. He did tend to stare at some of the girls though. He loaded up his hands full of candy and was quite the politician telling everyone "bye" and "night/night". One little girl gave him some candy back.

We went to about 5 of our neighbors houses during a break so Carter could trick or treat. He took candy at 4 of the houses, but decided he didn't need any at one. He did very good walking along with us, carrying his bag, and not running ahead. I was quite pleased.

The day before Halloween was a Tuesday so I had class. Ryan took Carter to get a new blow up for the front yard. We bought a small ghost last year but it is in one of the boxes that is blocked in our garage by 100 sheets of dry wall. When I got home from class there was a 12 foot Grim Reaper in the yard. He made Skeletor look loveable. Carter loved it and saw it when they pulled in the parking lot at WalMart and wanted nothing to do with any of the friendly pumpkins. The stupid thing has demonic light up eyes that are motion sensored. I didn't believe Ryan at first until I turned it on the next day to get ready for the trick or treaters and Carter was hugging all over it. I'm really glad he doesn't scare easily...I was a little freaked out too.
