Trick or Treat-ing

Today was the trick or treat day in clyde... of course, cal had to be in a pretty ornery mood, so it was interesting to say the least. But here are a few pics from the day...

Some times he would just straight up refuse to walk up to the houses (hey, no skin off my back, not like we NEED candy in the house)

and other times he would get angry and refuse to even walk in between the houses, and let me tell you, he is getting far too heavy for me to be carrying him all over the place! we went with the morgan's, grayson was dressed as a chicken...

He was a pretty cute little "dino," as he was calling himself. I believe it was actually supposed to be a dragon costume though. nonetheless... very cute

more trick or treating...

Nate and Nicholas were so tired by the time we were done... they were laying down and trying to rest, but not Cal!!! He was ready and raring to go with this new understanding of halloween... All these random people, willing to give away CANDY!!! Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable, and totally worth wearing this ridiculous costume. Oh, that, and the fact that mom had to carry him in between every single house!!! (I will let you know when I can actually lift my arms and stand up straight again... it may be a while!)

Every time a house would offer for cal to make a choice from a large bucket of candy, he would look specifically for suckers... these are his favorite type of treat (probably because mommy doesn't let him have them very often at all and they last a LONG time)

still going!!! nothing slows him down.

All in all, a very rewarding trick or treating experience...

Look out... Chocolate eating Chicken!!!

For reasons that are too difficult to explain in one sentence, we decided to do our trick or treating in Fremont this year and luckily I was able to talk one of the women that I work with to let cal and me go with her and her two older boys. I thought this would be great, since this was cal's first trick or treat experience, so that he could watch nate and nicholas and take a fast course in "how-to" trick or treat. This worked perfectly and cal picked the T or T concept up very quickly, within the first couple of houses and was a true pro by the time we were done.

By the end, his bucket was so heavy, and I kept offering to carry it for him, but he would refuse. I think he probably thought I was going to steal all of his hard earned candy! (As If!! okay, maybe i would have...)
