We had a wonderful Halloween with our little dragon! Last year Ethan was too little to do much for Halloween, so this year we were super excited that we got to take Ethan trick-or-treating for the very first time. We only took him to a handful of houses since he is still pretty little (and let's face it, the candy he got is primarily going to be eaten by Mommy and Daddy since he doesn't get too many sweets yet.) But it was still so much fun to get to walk Ethan the dragon around the neighborhood. For the houses we did visit, we would set him down and he would walk right up to the front door. He caught on really quickly to either take the piece of candy from the person or pick one out of the bowl and put it in his little ghost bag. It was too precious! The last house we visited had a stray baseball in the front yard, which totally distracted Ethan who only wanted to walk over to it. He kept pointing and saying "ball, ball" so we figured it was time to take him home and let him help pass out the rest of the candy before bed. His new favorite toy is his ghost bag, and loves to dump out all of his candy and put in back in piece by piece. I did notice several pieces missing this morning, so we'll have to talk to Patrick about that....All in all it was such a wonderful time spent together as a family, and I'm sad that it's already over!
Chasing Ethan down so we could put the top half of his costume on
Can dragons play ball?
He smiled a cheesy smile everytime Patrick tried to take this picture...we were all laughing so hard!
Not quite sure what to make of his costume just yet
He just looks so cuddly...alas, in just a few short years he will want to be scary and not so cute on Halloween!
One of our scary pumpkins (it said BOO on the other side that was cut out so the word glowed) I had no part in making this!
Running away as fast as his little legs will carry him
ROAR!
And he's outta here!
My boys (I just love seeing how much they love each other!) Oh, and if you couldn't tell, Ethan wanted down...this child is always on the move these days!
Mommy insisted on some adult supervision in the cul-de-sac, and Mr. Cliff happily obliged
Cruising around the cul-de-sac with our neighbor, Mr. Cliff (Ethan adores Mr. Cliff and Ms. Lisa!)
A rare sight...the three of us all together in a picture! If only Ethan was a little happier about us stopping his crazy antics long enough to take the picture :)
Posing with our next door neighbors, Jacob and Dominic (aka Spiderman and Super Mario)
Trick or Treat!
Looking at the fruits of his labor
Carefully taking the candy out of his ghost bag (only to put it all back in piece by piece a minute later!)
