I loved Halloween this year. It was the first year Jackson figured out the excitement of getting candy from neighbors. I had to work most of Monday evening, so I wasn't sure how much time (if any) he would get for trick or treating, so once I found out I had about an hour to celebrate Halloween we had to come up with a quick costume on the fly. The best I could do on such quick notice was a cowboy. I would have preferred something more creative, but he was interested in participating in the cowboy costume, so it worked. We started the evening at a neighborhood party and Jackson had a blast playing with all the other kids. Surprisingly he wasn't too frightened of the other costumes. He was a bit scared of the costumes at his school's Fall Festival a few weeks ago, so I wasn't sure how he would react. Then once it started to get dark (and he got bored at the party) we started trick or treating. He was unsure at first, but loved the idea after the first house. He would quietly say trick or treat, pick out a huge handful of candy (people shouldn't let 2 year olds pick their own candy...), and then end with a thank you. That was quickly followed with a request of "another house" to me. We ended the evening back at our driveway with a lollipop.
