Isaac was a Ninja (handmedown), Dawson was a cowboy (scrounged up from stuff we had), G. Jesse was Nemo (Henry's costume from last year), and Henry was Indiana Jones/Batman/Cowboy (I thought only girls meshed multiple characters together like FairyPrincessBalerina. Yep I was one of those once.) But Henry just couldn't decide, no matter how many times I told him that Batman didn't wear cowboy boots or hats. Dave dressed up as a BYU fan (scary costume!) and I didn't dress up (unless you count Desperate Housewife, jk.) I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
I had a big day in other areas, so I barely even focused on Halloween yesterday, which is okay. I didn't even eat one piece of candy.
Dawson's best line of the night came at the beginning of the trunk or treat when a couple asked him if he wanted some candy and he said, "No, I don't have any money." I love that kid. He might be the sweetest 4 year old I have ever met. He really is, I'm so grateful for his sweet nature. He got the hang of free candy pretty quickly though, and had a great time.
This picture at the end is not what you might think it is. It IS a garbage can. It DOES have candy wrappers in it, but it ALSO has uneaten candy of all varieties (including SNICKERS). Why? Mean mom? Fears of obese children?
NO! I'm not that mean. My 6 year old, Isaac decided to throw out his candy. Didn't feel like it was healthy to keep eating candy, says it gave him a headache. I have a 6 year old with incredible self control. I can't quite believe it. The icing on the cake? I fished them out of the garbage and ate them myself, and I didn't even have to steal them when he wasn't looking.
To my friends outside of Utah- Happy Halloween, hope it's a great day!
To those of us who are done with Halloween.......Phew, it's over! On to my favorite Holidays!!!!!!

Priceless comment from Dawson! I'll be sharing that one! :) Isaac does have amazing self control! I haven't stopped eating candy since Thursday, but I just don't think I can throw it away! :)
