happy halloween

The boys came by school for our Fall Party. Carter had so much fun playing pass-the-apple with all the kids in class. He fit in perfectly! He kept saying, "Mom, how do they all know my name? I didn't tell them yet!" Yep, I talk about them all the time to my kids at school!

The boys dressed up as a knight and dragon. Carter had been asking for weeks for a sword but I told him he only had two hands: one for his shield and one for his treat bag. He insisted I could hold his treat bag even after I told him that'd mean I get the treats! And...Daddy-of-the-Year came through surprising Carter (and Mommy) with a Daddy-made sword. Charlie spent his day at work converting a paper towel roll, cardboard, and duct-tape into a little knight's dream sword!

It was kinda crazy trick-or-treating in the daylight! Once the sun went down, Carter cracked his glowstick and we hit up a few more houses before heading home for pizza. He had so much trick-or-treating, first leaving his sword in the wagon and then picking up his treat bag before running up to every door to ring the bell. Charlie taught him to only go up to houses with lights on. After dinner, Logan enjoyed his toddler-friendly gold fish graham cracker treat and Carter had a random "sugar stick" piece of candy after sorting out all his loot!
