Yeah! We had our second Halloween as a threesome! What a great time we had. We met up with Greg, Lindsay, and Sawyer on Friday night for trick or treating at the Emerson Cultural Center and down Main Street. We had a great time. Then we went out for a pizza dinner together. It was great to spend the holiday time with the Schack family. We dressed James up as a pumpkin, which he totally loved. He has been really, really into pumpkins lately. During October, they "studied" the harvest and fall at school. Which I am sure means that they talked about pumpkins a whole lot. On Halloween evening, we dressed him up again and headed over to the Mall (this is where everyone goes here, which seems very strange to Sean and I) and did a bit more trick or treating. This time, James knew the drill. He was soooo cute. He would walk up to the people handing out candy in front of the stores and say "treat". Adorable! One lady thought he was so cute (because he walked right up to her and kept on going into the store as if he were on a mission to shop) that she said "he is so cute, I just have to give him two pieces". We were dying. He also kept stopping and bending down into his pumpkin pail and rummaging through his goods (which of course, we didn't let him eat).
After the mall, we headed over to Bill and Maggie's for a quick visit. James walked up to the door at their house, knocked (while stating "knock, knock"- his new favorite thing to do) and when Maggie answered, he said "treat!" and started laughing hysterically. Needless to say, Halloween is such a blast with him. I can only imagine how good it is going to be next year, when he can participate even more. For now though, this was one of the best couple of days ever. Amazing, given the fact that his two top eye teeth are both coming in and are just cutting the skin now. What a champ.
Speaking of champ, today, James got his second haircut. Wow, what a contrast to his last one! He just sat up in the chair, Ellie gave him a spin around in the chair, then she whipped out a kids cape, which featured fish and other aquatic creatures on it, which James absolutely loves, and I gave him a sugary granola bar, and he just sat there smiling at Ellie in the mirror enjoying the whole cut. A totally painless and entirely enjoyable experience. How lucky are we?
