Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween Will dressed as Darth Vader. There seems to be a trend, with him being Yoda last year. We tried to get Will to practice saying Trick or Treat so that he could say it when we went to the neighbors. Will would repeat it after we said it, but there was no way he was going to say it at our neighbors houses. He was very excited to go up and ring the door bells, but as soon as someone would answer, he would run away scared. I guess Darth Vader left "The Force" at home. It started raining so we only made it to 3 or 4 houses. Will enjoyed all the Halloween festivities this week.

Getting Ready To Trick Or Treat

Earlier in the day, Bill spotted a squirrel hanging out on our deck.

Halloween morning Bill, Grandma and Grandpa Zink, and Great- Aunt Donna took Will to an indoor trick or treating event at our local Dome. A lot of the activities were geared towards children a little older than Will, but he still had a great time.

Thursday morning Will had another Halloween Party to go to. There were lots of yummy treats for the children (and mommies) to eat. Will had a great time hanging out with his friends, listening to Halloween music, and eating.

Halloween Screams

Thursday afternoon we took Will outside to get some pictures with our Halloween scenery. He was not very cooperative for the pictures, but we were able to get one descent one.

Wednesday night Bill, Grandma and Grandpa Zink took Will to Wegmans for some trick or treating. Again, most of the stations were geared for children older than Will, but he still had a good time.

We all really enjoyed all of the Halloween festivities that we went to this week. It will be even more enjoyable next year when Will is another year older.

Carving Pumpkins

Today we decided to carve pumpkins. Bill and Will carved his pumpkin and put stickers on another pumpkin, and then I carved the larger pumpkins. Will was not as into carving pumpkins this year. He was not very patient with us, but we were able to distract him enough to get him to enjoy some of the experience.

Raking Leaves

This afternoon Will got to spend some time with Grandpa Wallace while I went to a vet meeting. When I got back to my parents house, both of them were sleeping. I decided that I would be a nice daughter and rake leaves. Two hours later, the job was complete. Once Will and Grandpa Wallace got up, they came outside to enjoy playing in the leaves. Since we only have two trees in our front yard, Will does not get to see as many leaves as he saw today. He had such a blast playing in the leaves, running, falling, and lots of laughing. We would put him in a huge pile of leaves and he would not want to get out. It was a good time had by all, even though it was exhausting for me.

Will's 1st Halloween Party of Season

Will had his first Halloween Party today. One of his playgroups had a Halloween Party during playgroup today. Will faught getting his Halloween Costume on, but once it was on, he did not mind wearing it. He really did not tolerate the helmet and would only wear it for a few seconds at a time.
