This year, I waited too long to get a decent, yet affordable, Spongebob costume. Crafty as I am, I was about to make one, when Max said, "I want Scooby Doo." You guessed it: Last year's costume! I was so grateful I hadn't sold it, and equally grateful that it fit. Here's what he looked like in '08 (his bro was Shaggy). http://platopage.blogspot.com/2008/10/happy-halloween.html<br /><br />Anyway, I am also the candy giver, so my stories are just hearsay, but I was told that, when Max was Thomas back in '07, he wanted to enter everyone's house. He figured, "They're opening their doors, why can't I go in?" That caused confusion and a truncated experience for all. It must be kind of like what a foreigner experiences. Once you think you have the social nicities figured out, something happens that turns things upside-down. That's my kiddos: little foreigners.<br /><br />This year was not bad. He was OK until he got to a "haunted garage," equipped with thunder noises. He has a fear of thunder at the moment. I honestly think this year (he's 4) was the best year for him as far as handling the stimulation. He wants to open all the candy, but not necessarily to eat it. He just digs opening wrappers.<br /><br />When you think of it, we have some pretty weird customs, don't we?JoLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693454713924177306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023875857831716336.post-3313140710827203722009-10-31T20:11:25.469-07:002009-10-31T20:11:25.469-07:00Jack is so cute!
Tony has always hated Halloween....Jack is so cute! <br />Tony has always hated Halloween. he likes the candy but never wanted to dress up or go trick or treating. The few times we could get him to go was only to a few houses and he was done. <br />Usually we took our older son and just collected candy for him and left him with grandma.tinamariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11008040414411118758noreply@blogger.com
