This Halloween was another success. Both Xavier and Drake were feeling sick yesterday. By about 6 they were both feeling a little better so we decided to put costumes on and go trick or treating. Xavier went as a little soldier- camo attire and a gun (nerf gun). Drake went as deadmau5, and I was a redneck with the beer gut hanging out. We went to the same neighborhood as last year, but to our surprise not very many houses had candy. The street we decided on had two houses with porch lights on on one side of the road and three or four on the other. That was it! Just six houses passing out candy. This worked well enough for us with the boys not feeling that great. Xavier was done after five houses. He asked me to hold him, so I carried him to the last house. I put him down so he could say trick or treat one last time this year. He was excited to eat his candy when we got home (we only let him have one piece).
Last Saturday we carved pumpkins with our good friends Margo and Ella. Ella decorated her pumpkin with stickers, lots and lots of stickers! Xavier wasn't very interested in the stickers. He put two stickers on his pumpkin and decided he was done. He enjoyed cleaning out the pumpkins much better. He went from person to person to help clean out the pumpkins. He reached in and pulled out all his little hand could hold. Once that was done he sat next to Ella and watched her as she continued to put stickers on her pumpkin.
