Trick or Treat

Ok, I think we are rested enough to be able to write this post now...

Last night we went Trick-or-Treating!!! This was special because this was Ryan's first time with Blake. He was in Louisiana for Army stuff last year.

Blake went as The Hulk this year. And yes... there is a story behind that costume choice. Ever since Blake was little, when he would get really excited about something he would hold his little hands out and shake. It was hilarious. At a very young age we nicknamed that "excitement" The Hulk! After a few times, Blake understood that command. Now we can simply say "Blake, do The Hulk" and he will start shaking. Are we bad parents for that?! I have to admit, he loves it and thinks it is pretty funny too. Blake is still young enough that he cant say "trick or treat" and he doesn't really understand the whole concept, so we figured he could at least be in character! Hence.... The Hulk!

 

 

We just went around to the grandparents houses for our trick or treat adventure. It all started at G-Daddy's house. Talk about holy candy and treats!! I think we scored enough candy in this one stop to last us for a year! Blake wanted to candy because it had a shiny wrapper. We decided to let him have some chocolate - which is totally not normal around our house. HE LOVED IT! At one point he was walking around the house with two candy bars in his hand and a mouth covered in chocolate. Classic. 

 

We also stopped at Memommy's house. It was a quick stop but very fun. Memommy has some cool car toys, so Blake ended up being more interested in the toys than the candy. I think he got a little side tracked on the whole trick or treat thing.

 

Last but not least we went to Granny and Papa's. I think we taught him well, because he grabbed all of their treats and put them in his bucket. Good boy! :) He had round two of food and ate the Halloween pretzels and goldfish. Yummy! He even played with the toys there for awhile too.

 

 

 

I would say The Hulk had a great night. He was a little tired and actually was running a slight fever. We weren't sure at the time if it was a fever or if he was just hot from running around. Indeed it was a fever...he woke up this morning not feeling well. The Hulk crashed hard after Halloween. Either way, he had a great time and we are so grateful for our family who simply adores the time they have with him. We are so blessed!!

 

Our next adventure will be to the Mountains this weekend. We are headed back up to see MY Granny and Papa in Pilot Mountain. Should be beautiful this time of year.
