Halloween is such a fun time of the year, isn't it? At our house, we love it and look forward to it every year! This year, Ethan wanted to be a Ninja Turtle, but not just any TMNT it had to be Leonardo....you see, Leo is the leader and Ethan, is all about being the "boss" of everything that he does! I swear that boy of mine will be a CEO one day!!! Colin, on the other hand, doesn't really care to get dressed up and his food allergy limits him to certain candy, but thankfully he doesn't really care to Trick-or-Treat anyway! This year though, I decided that regardless of his limits, he was going to have a fun Halloween, as well!!! Yesterday, was "Scarecrow Day" at school for Colin, so I worked for about a week on his costume and wasn't sure if he'd wear it or not, b/c of the straw kit I found that I sewed into the bibs and flannel; however, I'm pleased to say little man was the cutest scarecrow there was at preschool and he wore that costume without any hesitation!!! =) What a fun morning it was, too....he enjoyed the hayride and kept saying "I see" at everything we passed!!! I love being able to take part in his activities and yesterday morning, was really fun!!!!

After Ethan got home, my sister's girl's got off the bus at our house too, we started to plan the evening......I had excited kids at my house for a few hours and when it was finally time to go, we were off and running to all he houses w/ porch lights on!!! All the years we've Trick-or-Treated in Gnaden, it was nice to actually call it "home" last night!!! I love living in this "small town" and seeing the community come alive....it so reminds me of my childhood in Freeport!!! While Ethan, the girls, my sister, and I went around town....Daddy & Colin stayed back to pass out candy and what fun they had....Colin, was Thomas the Tank Engine, and he did so good w/ the costume.....he is so fun right now and lately he's been showing me that in time, or as I call it "Colin's Time", he'll do it and trying new things is quite the craze right now for him......we are loving every second of his growth and his journey, sure is making our family stronger with every holiday, every school event, well heck, truly every day we see how blessed we are!!! This life, wasn't actually what I had planned, but God had something bigger and better in store for us and every day, through Colin, we are seeing that "embracing" this life he gave us supercedes any of those "plans" I had envisioned so long ago!!!! This Halloween was the best one yet and we are loving the progression our life is taking.....Happy Halloween friends and we hope you enjoy all the "treats" this day brings!!!
Since Trick-or-Treat was last night and Halloween is today, we had to have something to celebrate the special day......so, "Boo" bags it is for the boys!!! Happy Halloween!!!
