Turns out he was right. We had a great night last night hanging out with family and neighbors. We set up a "jumpy castle" that Jason and Natalie brought and everyone had a great time! We gave out tons of candy, hot dogs, and burgers and met lots of new people who were completely taken aback that complete strangers would invite them to hang out and have a hot dog.
When it got dark, we took all the kids out trick-or-treating and, needless to say, they had a great time. Abby, for the past month or so, had been planning on being a doctor, but she decided last minute (literally) that she wanted to be a princess. And Carson was a jack-in-the-box. He enjoyed singing the little song and then popping up and saying "Wa-Puff!" (Not sure where he came up with that sound, but it was cute.) I was cracking up at Carson, who after we had been trick or treating a while, he just stopped and said, "Mom, I have all the candy I need right here. I'm not going to get any more." I was shocked and decided maybe he was just tired, but he patiently walked from house to house with us as the other kids ran to get more candy. Later on, I said, "Carson, why don't you go up to the door at this house," to which he replied, "Mom, I told you I don't want any more candy!" Not long after that when we got home, he said, "Can I please go to bed now?" Who are you and what have you done with my son?
He was back to his usual self this morning though. When I woke up he had already had at least two pieces of candy and was getting into more.
At any rate, it was a great night. Thanks to Bill and Sandy, who took pictures of the whole thing! I was being lazy. :)
It was a blast, Bre! You guys throw a great party. :) Oh and thank you so much for inviting us!!!
