Halloween

OUR FIRST trick-or-treating experience! I was kind of hesitant, and wasn't sure how this night would turn out. Thankfully everything worked out wonderfully!  Buddha dressed as elmo, nice and warm and kept his costume on the whole time. His nami bought him a car goody basket that he wouldn't let go of so that was also a success.  I even mangaged to find some red gloves to match his costume that day during work.

We ended up driving to our daycares neighborhood and meeting up with a few of the parents and our daycare provider to go as a group. I figured he would be more comfortable with kids he already knows going up to strangers, and he did! At first he was pretty hesitant to go up to a stranger, but once he realized all he had to say was trick-or-treat and they gave him candy he was all about it running from door to door.
It was also great that, that whole neighborhood really gets into the Halloween spirit, almost every house was decked out with lights and special effects.  I dont think i've ever seen so many kids trick or treating in my life. Especially since my mom's house maybe gets 10 trick-or-treaters every year despite all the crazy decorations she puts out in the yard.

Doing a good 3 hours of trick or treating, we (the parents) were spent but Buddha was still going. So I drove over to my mom's so we could do a few houses with her and was able to catch up with her neighbors since they wanted to see buddha's costume.

Overall Buddha had a wonderful expereince, no breakdowns (major plus) and the weather wasn't too bad. Also mommy and daddy got to steal all the candy that a toddler cant eat yummmmm
