It seems like not too long ago that we were trying to decide what we believe on this holiday and what we allow our kids to do. It is just everywhere this time of year. Everyone asking Chase what he is going to be for Halloween, candy at all the stores, decorations in neighbors yards, etc. We did have fun going to daddy's work again to go on a candy hunt. It is so hard to get pictures! Brad was holding Gavin and I was chasing Jacob. No one left to take pictures. For their first Halloween all the boys have been a lion. Its fun looking back on the years and comparing pictures.
Jacob was our little Heisman Winner aka Collin Klein. He didn't get the concept of candy at all. He just ran around the squadron.
Again all I could get Chase to wear was his flight suit. Chase really doesn't care too much about candy. When we got home we looked through it and each had one piece. I told him he could have another piece after his rest and he didn't ask for it then and hasn't asked for it since. Unfortunately that means a lot of left over candy for mom and dad.
That night before AWANA's we went over to a neighbors for halloweenies (hot dogs) and went to a few houses around us. Chase didn't want to put his flight suit back on so I convinced him to go as a K-Stater. We had fun hanging out with friends. The simple act of wearing a costume and getting candy is fun...I just wish there wasn't such a dark history of the day.

Agree w/your assessment on the dark side of history . . . but the other side is, like you said, the fun they have. At church they dressed up as reformation characters! I went w/Avon treats instead of candy - less for us to eat up when it's all over! The front steps pic was so cute, as well as the million $ smile on Chase w/Daddy and Jacob! And that lion costume has been an awesome Caywood fixture! Thanks for sharing!
It was fun to see the boys dressed up. Gavin seemed to go along with the Lion costume. Jacob definitely wore the right outfit for him - TOUCHDOWN:) For Chase, the flight suit works. Always love the updates!
