Jake and I started off our Halloween Day with some crafts. Here are our jack-o-lanterns and pumpkins...
From the moment I started asking Jake what he wanted to be for Halloween over a month ago, he adamantly said, "Football player!" Every few days I would ask him again, even showing him many different costume options, and he would still insist, "football player." There was a brief lapse in his thinking after talking to his cousin Cohen, but before long we were back on track and that's exactly what Jake was for Halloween...
We really lucked out because Jake had gotten a full Cowboys football uniform for Christmas from Chad and Cassy. He already loved it and was happy to be the newest additions to the Cowboys. Here's Jake getting the Halloween goods...
Jake was a champ for the first couple of houses, but he quickly slowed down and began showing hesitancy. We trooped around to about 5 houses, and Jake did a great job of trick-or-treating.
Here's the full effect...
We all joined in on the fun. I was the coach and Daddy was a fellow player...
After we finished around our house, we drove to the Dishmans' so we could visit this precious little calf...
We then headed home in time to catch a few trick-or-treaters. I honestly think this was Jake's favorite part of the entire evening. Sitting in our camping chairs, eating candy, and waiting for the kids to arrive. He got super excited when someone came up the driveway. As the street cleared and it looked like everyone was done for the night, he jumped out of his chair and said, "Friends, friends! Where are our friends?"
All the new "friends" made the end of the night fun, but let's not forget the candy. It was definitely a highlight too...
Yum-yum!
