I don't really remember Halloween that well from when I was trick-or-treating age. Maybe it just wasn't that big of deal? Either way right now, it is a huge deal to Deven. The lead up to Halloween was a month long process...I even had to hide his costume from him when it came in the mail to ensure it would still be in tact for the big day. Deven was, of course, a fireman. We did it right with new fire boots, pants, jacket and helmet. Underneath he even had on his fireman pj's. It was epic. We were invited to spend the evening with our friends Renee and Chip Burgess. Their little guy Charlie is the same age as Deven and was equally as thrilled to go door-to-door for free candy. Renee is an aspiring Martha Stewart (pre-insider trading) and decorated so well. She even had labeled appetizers: grapes were eye balls and pretzel sticks were goblin bones. It's her dream to have a walk through haunted house some day. I am anticipating that we will spend many more Halloween's with the Burgess family!!
We captured the boys' first trick-or-treat. Awesome. Other fun moments was Deven's 'eye ball' belch into a nice ladies face as she was handing him some candy..."Excuse me, I burped." Then upon a nice old man opening the door for the boys Charlie felt right at home and walked right in...we were thinking he just wanted to be more social then trick-or-treating allowed. He is quite the gentleman. We had such a great time and ended the night with a pizza, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", and a little Monday night football. A perfect first Halloween night out for Deven and Charlie!!!
