| Eli loves jack-o-lanterns! Who doesn't? |
Halloween ended up being much more fun than I thought it was going to be this year. I just wasn't in the mood for some reason.....I didn't get any of my decorations out, except my wreaths, and I waited until the last minute to carve our pumpkin(Yes, I only bought one.). If you know me, that's pretty crazy because I typically LOVE Halloween......Anyhow, we had stress-free costumes, and the boys surprisingly kept them on all night-minus the masks. They were very hard to see out of.
I was tickled pink that Eli totally got it. He wouldn't let anyone put the candy in his bag- he always wanted to take one piece and put it in his bag by himself. There were a few witches that wouldn't give him a piece of candy until he said, "Trick or Treat!". I had to run up there and say it for him......Maybe next year I will make him a t-shirt that says, " I have autism and I can't say trick or treat." HA! Just kidding.
We went trick or treating on post where all the Colonel housing is- that's where everyone goes. Shayne ditched us for her friends this year and I didn't get any pictures of them. It sucks when your daughter is too good to trick or treat with you. James thought he was a celebrity because he kept running into all of his friends from school. "Hey! I know you!"
Surprisingly, we only saw two Darth Vader's and one happen to be his buddy, Sam from class. They looked awesome together.
This little girl was hilarious when she saw James. "JAMES! JAMES!" They ran towards each other and hugged. So.darn.cute. I volunteer in James' classroom on Tuesday mornings, and this little girl always holds my hand on the way to lunch. Love her!

who in their right mind would MAKE a kid say Trick or Treat for candy. what if the child is really shy and won't talk to strangers. seriously women?!?! i probably would have said something mean but you are much more graceful than I.
I don't know about that, Beth..... I really wanted to say something!!!!
The costumes are awesome! I can't believe some people!!! That's ridiculous! I like the t-shirt idea!
They are too adorable! And Shayne looks great too. When did she get so grown up though?! The wild rumpus pics and story is awesome too. What a great idea (even if it is just b/c they won't allow costumes). =)
That sounds like a great night- especially with the boys wearing their costumes all night! SO fun they both 'got it'! HA! You made me laugh so hard about next year's t-shirt idea!!!!!!!!
What did Eli think about the icky muck inside the pumpkins before carving?
Does James talk about that girl that has a crush on him? LOVE that she knows and likes you so much too. YEAH for volunteering!
Did Shayne and her friends go trick or treating or just hang out all night?
Soooo glad you finally got into it and had a memorable Halloween!
Eli LOVES the icky muck. He is Mr. sensory.
Shayne trick or treated with friends and then hung out for awhile.
James doesn't talk about that girl, but has been talking about some other girl he calls his girlfriend. We were in the pX the other day and he started talking to this girl...The mother came up and said, "This is THE James???? The James you talk about every.single.day???" Ha! HA! I guess he's quite the lady's man. HA!
Glad Eli's Mr. Sensory. I've seen it the other way, where the child hates all variety of sensory or is so sensitive and upset with it.
I can TOTALLY see James as a lady's man! That's sooo his personality!
