Third times a charm

We had our very first successful Halloween with Connor. His first Halloween he was 10 months old. I bought a bee costume for him and I had great intentions of taking him out trick or treating. I nixed that plan when I realized how much he would hate his costume.

Last year, he was obessed with Elmo so I found a great Elmo costume on ebay for him. I thought he would love it. Oh no. Total meltdown again. For some reason I don’t have any pictures of last years Halloween, but I know that I have some video somewhere of the meltdown of the century. At any rate, we cancelled Halloween plans and he just went to bed early.

This year he finally got Halloween. He wanted to be a fire truck so I did my very best to put together a fire truck costume. He even had a siren hat, but he refused to wear it. We went trick or treating with out good friends and Connor had so much fun. He would run up to the door, say trick or treat, and 9 times out of 10 try and just grab the candy out of the bowl. He needed lots of reminders about Halloween manners but I suppose that is to be expected.

My favorite part about Connor trick or treating was his reaction to a full size candy bar he recieved at one of the first houses we went to. He proceeded to show every sigle person who’s door he knocked on his big butterfinger. We were just cracking up the whole time. I don’t think he was trying to say that their snack size candy was lame, but it sure seemed like it! He was just so excited about his big yellow candy bar.

  1. They both look sooo cute! That is too funny about the full size candy bar…I think they only do that in Highland Park around here. I will post Halloween costumes later – Kenzie was the Princess Ballerina of Death. Cute, huh.

  2. Very cute firetruck and fireman, but my favorite part of those pics was the fact that Derek was wearing the RCC t-shirt! Way to go D!! Thanks for supporting us!!!
