Trick or Treat

Did anyone notice that Halloween now starts in August.....Christmas starts at what used to be Halloween....Thanksgiving should be renamed "Pre-New Years Eve".....I think you get where I am going with this! The holiday's seem to go by way to fast! We can't even enjoy the first holiday before we are already thinking about the next one.

I'm a little late with this post because I have been panicking about my Christmas shopping so I have been scouring the internet every night trying to put together a Christmas gift list. See, I'm not even thinking about Thanksgiving so I know I will blink and Thanksgiving will be over with.

But anyways, going back to Halloween, we had a minor change of plans due to the surprise snow storm. Our town was pretty much entirely out of power so the town decided to postpone Halloween until that Friday. Since were going to be away on the "new" Halloween day, we didn't want the boys to miss out on their trick or treating experience so we went to my parents house since they were fortunate enough to still have power.

Will's new interest is good guys and bad guys and somewhere along the way he learned about Spiderman. So that set the theme for this year's Halloween costumes. Both Will and Jack have very strong opinions about what clothing they put on their body (and they will not be persuaded, trust me, I try everyday) so I had to tread lightly to make sure I found costumes that both boys were going to be happy with. Fortunately both boys wore their costumes on Halloween and there was no crying and trying to rip the costume off. Despite the last minute refusal to wear the spiderman mask, I think they made pretty darn cute super heros if I say so myself!!

Both boys had fun going from house to house. Will was an old pro and Jack picked it up very quickly when he realized he was getting something every time he went to someone's door.
