Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween!
Quinn had a blast tonight! He loves Halloween! We couldn't have asked for a nicer day. It's been cold here recently (in the 50's - which is cold for North Carolina :-). But yesterday things starting getting back to normal and today's high was 77. It cooled down a bit once the sun set so it wasn't too hot for costumes (like last year was).
Quinn got dressed in his superman costume - we were worried since he is so picky about what he wears these days! At first he wasn't very happy having the cape tied around his next but he got over that pretty quickly. Before we headed out we had a few trick-or-treaters stop by. It was so cute watching him stare at the kids. It took him awhile to get used to kids in costumes but he liked handing out the candy. Then we went trick-or-treating up our street. He was shy for the first couple of houses but was really excited as soon as they shut the door. He would kept looking into his sack to check out the candy. At Ben's (our new neighbor) they gave him a couple treats but while we were talking he dug back into their bowl and pulled out a sucker. He was eating it before we got down their driveway. It was a blue - that's why his lips are blue in some of the pictures.
He got good at saying thank you and bye. He loved the house two-doors down. They have a decoration that looks like a witch flew into the closed door - Quinn thought it was so cool. He kept looking up and making a "scary" sound.
When we got up to our sidewalk he didn't want to come in. He whined and stomped his feet a bit and kept pointing to the street. It was so funny. He had a lot more energy than we did! Once we got inside he was fine - cause he had all that new candy to explore. If it was up to him he would have tried all of it. He even tried asking for a popsicle! We didn't let him have too much candy (or a popsicle) but he still didn't end up eating much.
Quinn spent the rest of the night answering the door for the trick-or-treaters. He was very generous until the bowl started getting low. Then he didn't want the kids to have anything. I think one little girl was a bit traumatized because he was so upset about me giving her the candy.
He went right to bed as soon as we went upstairs. It was pretty late considering he's not used to the time change yet. He's sleeping soundly with a snickers in one hand and twix in the other. Don't worry - they're wrapped :-)
If Halloween was this much fun, I can't wait for Christmas this year!

Can't blame the little guy for getting upset when he saw the bowl getting empty. Shows he pays attention :)
Thanks for posting so quickly. Very appreciated.
