Halloween night was so blustery that we ended up going trick or treating tonight. It was perfect weather, and we enjoyed getting to share the trick or treating experience in our neighborhood with Grandma and Grandpa. (Just in case you can’t quite tell…Jonas was Curious George, Tom was The Man with the Yellow Hat, Xander was Blue, Jodi was Steve, and Roman was Pooh Bear.)
I always get a little anxious about Xander’s peanut allergy on Halloween night, but Jonas was ALL ABOUT protecting him and Xander did a great job of protecting himself, asking, “Is this peanut-free?” and “Does this have peanuts in it?” in his sweet little voice. I mean…who can resist that preciousness. By the end of the night, Xander had gotten really good at identifying the candy that was safe for him to choose (even though Grandma and Daddy still went through everything after the boys had gone to bed just to be on the safe side).
It went by quickly with the setting of the sun, but we still had fun…the boys and Grandma and I especially liked wearing our glow necklaces and bracelets.
