Boo-ya!

This will be the final Halloween post - yahoo!

I love Halloween and this year we did plenty of events with the kids to prepare for the big day! Friday started out with Tyler having a Harvest Party at school. Eric was able to attend with him, and Tyler had a fun time.

I was able to snap a few pictures of Tyler in his costume on Halloween night. He was a monkey this year, and had so much fun going to trick-o-treating. The first house he went to was one of my parents neighbors (and good friends). They always enjoy seeing Tyler, and this year gave him a special treat - a wooden toy car. Needless to say Dave & Lindy set the bar pretty high, as this was the first house he went to this year, lol.

Tyler quickly got into the groove of saying "Trick-o-Treat" when the door would open. He even remembered his manners and said "thank you" after receiving candy. Maybe some of the things we strive for as parents actually do happen?

After a little over an hour, he was ready to call it a night, and his spider bag was full of candy. Tyler was in constant negotiations with Eric and I as to how many pieces of candy he could have. We told him he could have 4 pieces since he was 4 years old - he had his heart set on 10 (go figure?). When it was all said and done, he couldn't eat more than 3 pieces, lol - and he ate all kit-kats :)

I think that Tyler honestly had the most fun handing out candy to the trick-o-treaters. Grandma Carol & Grandpa Jim had hundreds (Literally) of little ones knocking on the door. Tyler would run as fast as he could to open the door and hand out candy. It was pretty darn cute. He loves to meet new people and make lots of friends. He told me that he now knows all the people in Grandma & Grandpa's neighbourhood and they are his friends.

Until next year, here are a few pictures of Mr. T.

Tyler loved showing off his banana to people...
