Halloween

Daniel dressed up as a TTU football player for Halloween. This was really his first year to do the whole 'Halloween thing.' He absolutely loved it! We first went to a carnival at my work place where he got to play little games like bean bag toss - his definite favorite. There was even one of those inflatable slides. We convinced him to go down once, but that was enough for him. He won all kinds of good junk - food and prizes.

We then went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. He did a good job of saying 'thank you' at all the houses, but we did have to remind him to say 'trick or treat!' Sometimes he would get confused and go up to an adult that wasn't handing out candy (like one with another trick-or-treater) and say "trick or treat!" The only thing he didn't like was one of the other kids we saw trick-or-treating who was dressed up in this black devilish costume with beady little red eyes. Daniel would steer clear of that kid and preferred to go to houses where that "monster" didn't go. We ended up with more candy than he has probably consumed in his entire first three years.
