William had a super dooper Halloween as an airline pilot! He loved his costume and for the first time, he really "got it" when it came to trick-o-treating. He'd walk up to each door and shout "TRICK O TREAT!!!!" Everyone loved him and several people asked what airline he was flying. His answer was either "United" or "American Airlines" depending on his mood.
We started out celebrating the holiday at Campbell's birthday party. Campbell was born on Halloween which allowed for the easy costume birthday theme. William was mostly excited to have another reason to wear his costume, but the whole ride over to the party he kept asking us what costumes each of his friends would be wearing too.
He played outside on Campbell's cool playground set and all the parents took a cute picture of all the kids sitting on the front lawn. Campbell was a fireman, Caroline was a cheerleader, Ashleigh was Snow White and Zane forgot his costume. One little girl was Mary Poppins, there were also a few princesses, a chicken, turtle and a couple of monkeys.
After we partied hard with Campbell, we headed for Andy's house in Dan's old neighborhood. Upon our arrival, William promptly plucked 3 bags of M&Ms out of Andy's candy stash and ate them. He was more ready than ever to hit the houses for more loot. So, we headed out with Andy's nephew, Luke (a fireman) and we hit a few houses on his street.
Next stop was our own neighborhood. Along our candy walk we ran into Cate (a monkey), Snow White, 2 Tiggers, and a couple of transformers. William had a great time knocking on doors and hollering "TRICK O TREAT!" He'd grab some candy, say "thank you!" and then ask us to open the candy right then and there. After awhile, I finally said "no" and told him that we needed to keep all the loot in the pumpkin bag.
Halloween 2009 was a hit!
