Halloween Happenings - Part 2

We started out our Saturday by meeting Josh's parents for lunch. They wanted to see Aidan in his costume, however, he was not fond of the idea of wearing it more than he had to, so he went to lunch wearing his orange Halloween shirt instead. We met at a mall food court so that Aidan could have the freedom to play on the mall playground as soon as he was done, and play he did. He really didn't want to leave.

When we got home, Josh laid Aidan down for a nap, and I called my dad. Dad picked me up and we drove to the funeral home again. This time we actually went inside and ordered Levi's tombstone. That was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Deciding the design of my child's headstone is something I never dreamed I'd have to do. My parents, yes, but not my child. I had already typed up and printed out a basic design that I wanted, so it made the process pretty simple. I just had to pick the type of granite and font I wanted. I should get the proof by Friday via e-mail, and then it should be done in about 4-6 weeks.

Then it was time to go trick or treating! Aidan was so excited to go to his "Halloween party" as he called it. One of his favorite episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is about Pete's Halloween party, so that's all he's been talking about for weeks. We stopped by Grammy and Papa's house first where he got a Jack-o-Lantern Pez dispenser and a swirling light for his candy bag. We then headed out to one of our friend's homes where all our kids went trick or treating together.

Daddy convincing Aidan to wear his wizard hat while trick or treating. I told you he didn't really like wearing more than necessary.

Trick or Treat!

Goodies are collected. Time to move on.

After trick or treating, we headed back to our friend's house for snacks, fellowship, and passing out candy.
