And he liked sitting with his friends and looking at their pumpkin.
He was anti-costume from the beginning. We tried it on when it came in the mail and he immediately wanted it off. He put it on this morning b/c Miles told him that's how he gets candy. He is VERY motivated by candy. He's our junk food eater.
By the time they got to daycare, he decided he hated it. Darrin left him like this and apparently he cried for 10 minutes. One teacher said that she'd never seen him so upset. He got over it at some point b/c I saw some pictures throughout the day and he was happy again.
We had a costume contest at work. We dressed up as 'A Week of Tennessee Weather'. It's very appropriate b/c we can experience all four seasons in one week here.
After work, we went trick or treating with friends. Their neighborhood is crawling with kids and a lot of the houses are decorated. This was the year for scary costumes. That's what all the cool kids were doing. Miles is Jason from Friday the 13th (2nd from the right).
We ran into another friend while trick or treating. Miles also went to a door and it was one of his teacher's houses. It made his night. He loves his teachers this year.
Carson wanted to walk for a little while but rode in the stroller most of the night.
He's usually not very good in the stroller, but he was a trooper tonight. Whenever he got a little fussy Miles gave him some candy. He had more candy tonight than he's ever had. He still went to sleep fine which made us very happy. Hopefully he'll stay there all night.
I had fun hanging out with my friends too. Last year we rode on a trailer but this year we walked b/c we couldn't get everything together. These are all baseball moms. Being gone at the tournament all weekend made it impossible for us to plan anything. I actually preferred walking. It was a beautiful night and it felt so good to walk and talk.
It started to rain so we went back to the house where we met to play a few games. Unfortunately the tornado sirens started going off and we all felt like we needed to get home. It was a fun night, but with Carson it was almost better that we were forced to leave.
This was the first night that Darrin hasn't had practice in months. It was so nice to be home together after trick or treating. Volleyball ends this weekend. It's always sad when a season ends, but I'm looking so forward to more nights like this in the near future.
