Happy Halloween

Chase had a good time on his first official year as a Trick-or-Treater!  He was Mr. Potato Head this year. We made it to a total of 3 houses on Halloween!  Maybe we can double it next year!

The night before Halloween, our church had a fall festival and a trunk-or-treat.  Drew and I had no clue was a trunk-or-treat was and we still don't because we couldn't last until 6:30 when it started!  Maybe next year we can make that as well!

 He was a little unsure of what was going on when we first got to the fall festival!

 Chase hated his costume.  It annoyed him the entire time, except for when we could distract him with activities.  Apparently taking his picture on a haybale was not enough of a distraction for him!

 Chase really perked up when we left the hot gym and went on the playground!  He was the only kid there for a while and went up and down the slides way too may times to count!

 He didn't like when it was time to put the costume back on!  He left a trail of face pieces behind!

 Until...we distracted him with a Tootsie Pop!!

On actual Halloween Day, I left work an hour or so early and when we picked Chase up from school.  After dinner, we headed over to my mom's to "practice" trick-or-treating.  Chase did not know what the heck we were asking him to do, but eventually he liked taking candy from one bucket and putting it in the other bucket.  We left with half a pail of tootsie rolls!  Drew would think that was fantastic...I thought it was just gross!

When we got back home and headed to our neighbors around 6:15 or so, we made it to about 2 houses before Chase decided he wanted to go back home.  He loved (and still loves) going through his stash and finding all the suckers!  He also loved handing out candy to the other kids that came by our house.  That kept him thoroughly entertained until around 7:30 when he went to bed!

This video is him helping give out candy with Daddy.
