Trick or Spooky Treat!













After the scary (Jake getting strep throat yesterday and missing his first school parade and classroom party today!) came the fun part of halloween. When jake got the dr's okay to go trick or treating we joined our friend Amy and her kids for a stroll around their (LONG) block. It started off pretty warm, but sure got chilly as we finished up. The boys did pretty good. Aidan (ELMO) got a bit tired after a while and wanted to be pulled in the wagon (I can't blame him, I wanted a ride, too!) Jake (BOBA FETT from Star Wars) did well right up until the last few houses. We went with some other kids, too. An older boy was dressed as some other guy from Star Wars and Jake was in Heaven. He followed that boy around every step. That boy's poor sister fell between the first and second house and ended up being brought to the emergency room for a possible broken arm. She was wailing in pain and just wanted to keep trick or treating! Can you imagine? She was devastated at the thought of having to stop.
