Halloween

This year the little man made it very well known that he was a big boy.

And big boys took Halloween very seriously.

Another year older and wiser, the little man eagerly anticipated Halloween this year. For weeks leading up to the big day, all we heard about was how he was going to go trick-or-treating and get lots and lots of candy.

All the years prior, little man has enjoyed getting dressed up, but still somewhat confused when we would take him from house to house in his little red wagon. Sure, he liked getting candy, but was still thoroughly confused.

However, this year was different. He knew what Halloween meant.

And it meant lots and lots of candy.

And a very special costume.

Of course it didn't help any that he had three Halloweens: a Halloween party at his preschool, a family Halloween party at mommy's office and of course the real deal, which the little man affectionately refers to as "Dark Halloween" since he is allowed to venture out at night to get heaps of sugary goodness.

And this year he was very specific that he wanted to walk, rather than ride in his wagon, for that was for babies.

And he was a big boy.

{That is, until we made our way 3 blocks down and daddy had to carry both the little man and his overflowing bag of candy.}

But what should he be for Halloween?

That answer was easy this year ....

Happy Halloween from Our Little Fireman!
