Halloween

We have definitely celebrated Halloween this year and Brayden loved every minute of it.  This year he dressed up as.....what else, Spiderman!  Last Wednesday we went to our church's annual Fall Festival at church, where Brayden had a blast.  He enjoyed the bounce houses, face painting, balloon animals, cake walk and best of all, trunk or treating! 
 On Sunday night, Brayden helped Greg carve his first jack-o-lantern.  He wasn't as into it as we thought he'd be...this one handful of pumpkin goo is about all he did to participate.  Greg had fun with it though, and Brayden was excited about the end result.
His class had a Halloween party at MMO on Monday morning, where most of the kids came dressed up in the Halloween costumes.  Brayden was really excited to wear his Spiderman costume (he even asked if he could wear it again today!) 
Monday evening, we went out in the cold rain to do a little trick or treating in our neighborhood.  Brayden was really into it this year and was excited to go door to door.  Mommy & daddy had enough after about 5 houses...it was nasty out!  We came home and handed out candy to the crowds of trick or treaters that came to our neighborhood.  I was surprised at how many went out despite the weather.  Brayden loved seeing all the different costumes, especially the ones of Buzz Lightyear and the different superheroes who came to our door.
We enjoyed all of the Halloween festivites this year, but I'm glad it is finally over!  Now its time to get thinking about Christmas....
