Trick or Treating

Jackson was so excited about Halloween this year despite the fact that he could not decide on a costume. Finally he decided to be a construction worker. After wearing it everyday the week before and to several other Halloween events, I would definitely say we got our moneys worth out of it.


The week before Halloween Del Ray held its annual Halloween Parade. We had always heard it is quite the event but had never made it down to take it all in. Jackson started out watching the parade but quickly wanted to join in on all the fun.


**I have to take a minute to say that I just love Del Ray "where Main Street still exists." They have Halloween parades, Christmas parades with caroling and lights, and fun family festivals. It reminds me of Stars Hollow from The Gilmore Girls, which just make me smile!**

Halloween night finally came, and Jackson couldn't have been more ready to start knocking on those doors. Of course he was shy for the first couple of houses but quickly got the hang of it.


Let's go! Just one more house!


Then it was time to go home, sort the loot, discard all the peanut candy, and taste a couple of the pieces. We then passed the cruel job of trying to get a four year old kiddo (who was still bouncing off the walls from all the Halloween excitement) to go to bed over to my mother, so we could walk down to a neighborhood Halloween cookout! Thanks again for that one, Dee Dee!
