We had a blast Trick or Treating! First of all, it was around 60 degrees out, perfect for walking along with your bag of goodies. Owen was super happy and polite about it. He said "Thankyou," at every house. Also, we started early enough that it was still light out, and we went to a safe neighborhood by "Grandma Carol and Grandpa Bill's" house. Some funny things....Once Owen sweetly looked up at one lady and said, "I'd like one more, please." Too funny. It was confusing, as some people handed out ONE, and other's a handful, and other yet let the kids pick out 2 or 3 of their own. We had to educate him on that one. LOL. One place we stopped, a man was passing out candy, and he mentioned that his dad used to work on the railroad as the engineer! That was very exciting to Owen. He just kept chug, chug, chugging along from one house to another. If you can believe it, Owen did not have ANY candy, until we we in the car on the way home. He didn't even ask for it. :O And he only had one box of Nerds. LOL.
ANd then we went to "4 The Kidz Gymnastics," that was set up for open gym, and also some games. Here, Miss Alyssa was playing a game of "Ring the pumpkin" with Owen. We had come later after trick or treating, and so he was the only kid there. But, they had great fun with him anyway. And he had tons of fun on the trampolines and the blow up obstacle course, etc. Worth every penny for the fun! They will be doing this again in the Winter. I volunteered to help them, as it seemed really fun, and they are really nice ladies.

Adorable!
How nice that your boy has such nice manners, and yet still has the confidence to ask for what he wants. Tim and I don't have the same self-discipline as Owen - we were eating Nick's candy before we got to the second house.
Well, we had so much candy left over from the parades this past summer. So, now we are sharing the Halloween candy, and he gets one per day. It will probably be gone, just in time for those stocking stuffers at Christmas. LOL :)
