Lots and Lots of Halloween Fun

This has been a very busy week for our family, so we've decided to combine everything into one blog entry.

On Tuesday we had our Moms Club Halloween Party, and John Grayson finally decided that it was okay to wear the pirate costume. Thank goodness! He had a great time playing with his friends and eating lots of sweets.

Arrr....I'm a pirate!

Boy, do I love all of the Halloween treats!!

On Wednesday, Daddy and JGray carved the family jack-o-lantern. Unfortunately, JGray wasn't too interested in helping since he thought it was spooky and scary. He did sit at the table with John and color while Daddy did the dirty work.

Daddy's masterpiece

On Friday morning, John Grayson visited a nearby retirement home and went trick or treating. He was such a sweet boy and remembered his manners (most of the time). He even gave out a hug or two while we were there.

Halloween night was so much fun for all of us! John Grayson had a fantastic time trick or treating. We went to about 5 houses in the neighborhood, which was MORE than enough candy for a 2 year old. Strangely enough, he had an even better time handing out candy to the big kids. He kept chanting "More big kids! More big kids!" He was very generous with the treats, and most big kids got a huge JGray sized handful of candy. Thank goodness Halloween is only once a year because Mommy and Daddy can't handle a crazy, hyper little boy every night!

John Grayson and Daddy are ready to hit the streets for some treats.

I'm pretty good at this trick or treating thing.

I love Halloween!!
