Candy, Firetrucks, and Dogs in Costumes

Tonight was my favorite Halloween of all time! We had way too much fun creating a firetruck for Jack's costume- some duct tape & an old diaper box can go a long way! Jack is also old enough to really participate in our church's Trunk r Treat. A lot of people bring their dogs & I'm pretty sure that was Jack's favorite part. He kept saying, "Nuther dog!" When we handed him the bucket for candy he said, "Bucket. Feed dogs!" We had to keep him from feeding his candy to the dogs, so he offered hugs instead. See pics below for some of those lovely moments!

After that we stopped at Nana's house to show her the whole costume. Jack was so excited to show off for Nana. He ran into her house making siren noises & showing off his truck. I had a sad moment when I thought about how cool my dad would have thought the whole thing was. He would have gotten such a kick out of seeing Jack speed around the house in his Flintstone's style firetruck.

We finished the night by sitting on the front porch passing out candy to trick or treaters. We let Jack give them the candy, but when someone in a scary mask would come, he would say, "Mommy's turn." I was cracking up at how interested he was in the "pee-poes" coming to our house. Whenever there was a lull in traffic, he would request "more pee-poes, Mommy."

Overall, I think we can call this year a success!
