I know that this goes against how many of my friends and family feel but I admit that I love Halloween!
I don't love the scary, adult sillyness but I do love the kid aspect of it. Dressing up, handing out candy and getting to meet your neighbours are some of the best parts of the night.
Vaughn completely got Halloween this year and it was so much fun. We starting prepping him early about Trick or Treating etiquette. When we asked him what you say when you knock on the door my polite little man answered "May, I have some candy please?" And while I was proud of his polite answer I quickly filled him in on the fun of 'Trick or Treat'. In the days leading up he kept asking if it was time for the 'halloween walk' aka trick or treating. He would play pretend trick or treating, sometimes forcing Greta to play with him.
We carved our pumpkin family and Vaughn actually tried to get the seeds out this year, he hates getting his hands dirty though so he didn't try very hard :) Greta on the other hand had her hands right in the pumpkin, trying to eat the insides and putting everything I scooped out, back in when I wasn't looking :)
We've had our costumes planned out for awhile. It was a Sesame themed year with Vaughn choosing to be Elmo and Greta being Abby Cadabby. Vaughn loved his costume and surprisingly Greta kept hers on once we got out trick or treating.
This was the first year Vaughn has been allowed to eat any of his candy and it has opened up a whole new world for him. He will proudly tell you that he loves chocolate! Poor Greta is feeling extremely left out since she hasn't gotten any!
