Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everyone. Hope it was fun!



Don't touch my candy... or I'll go "Rhino Ranger on you!"

Last night was fun. We went around our block (which is really a mile long circle. We probably hit 30 houses. Many did not have their lights on but more did than last year. The weather was great. We probably hit twice as many homes as last year. He was just bigger and could walk further, but we did basically carry the little guy home. He was exhausted.

It was pretty cute to see him with the older people who kept calling him back to the door, "Lemme see that great costume!" Aidan woke up this morning and said, "Can I have some candy?" That answer was NO! He needed to have some breakfast first. :)

Wow, I have a lot of candy... Mmmmmm.

Aidan from Halloween's past:

Bad Spiderman

Aidan wants to be Spider-Man for Halloween. Norma bought a costume off E-bay but it has yet to arrive. Today at Target we found a "Bad" Spider-Man outfit, as Aidan calls it. So we got it. Pretty cheap, but he loves it.

Spider-Man is a huge part of this (almost) 3 year-old's life. He just goes crazy for Spider-Man. It is pretty much 24-7 with him. We rented an old series of Spider-Man a tv-series cartoon that I used to watch when I was a kid. We brought it home and I totally remembered the theme music and everything. Awesome.

The bad part was that Aidan picked up the final set of episodes from the third season. I read tonight on Wikipedia that the show was basically bankrupt and the episodes are almost unwatchable. I can attest to that! So we will have to pick up the first season of it. I remember watching those episodes well when I was a kid! No wonder the little guy likes Spider-Man so much.

Halloween Week

We had a great time with Halloween this week. Aidan just loved every minute of it. He went to about 10 houses and was so cute in his Elmo outfit. He didn't put the hood of it up, but he knocked on every door and jiggled his pumpkin to show how much candy he was getting.

It was neat to see some of our neighbors, we don't see many of them very often. We are all so busy. The little street we live on is a nice one. The homes are modest for our village and many have kids around or near Aidan's age.

We were a little worried on Halloween because Aidan wasn't feeling very well. A kid at his day care is always sick and got Aidan sick again. But, he felt well enough to go trick or treating and has been feeling a little better ever since.

I, on the other hand, have been real sick. My cold/flu (whatever it was) turned into another sinus infection. I went to the emergency clinic today and got a steroid shot and some antibiotics. Hopefully with a lot of rest this weekend I will turn the corner and be able to head back to work feeling better on Monday.

It is hard to believe that high school football season is almost ending. Our AHS team has really been getting hammered lately. They lost to our hometown team Kingwood 45-7 last night. Without any seniors it has been a long year. But, they did win one game which is more than many people figured they would.
