Since I have to work on Halloween this year and will not be able to watch Cannon go trick or treating for the first time (sad!), I thought it would be fun to dress the kids up in their Halloween costumes for some early Halloween fun. Cannon is going to be a dragon and Riley a ladybug this year. Blaine's aunt Mo was very nice in giving us one of her son's old Halloween costumes, which just happened to be a dragon, and fits Cannon perfectly! Cannon LOVES the dragon costume and wants to wear it all the time. I bought him a Halloween book about a week ago that has a line in it that says, "the fiercest dino in the land"! So, when wearing the dragon costume, Cannon likes to stand up on the ottoman and shout, "I'm the fiercest dino in the land"!...it's pretty cute. And really, dinosaurs are pretty much the same thing as dragons, right?
So anyway, last Friday we took our little dragon and lady bug to Gardner Village to see the witch display. When we told Cannon on Thursday night what we were planning on doing the next day, he could not stop talking about "seeing the witches". This made me really excited to take him and see his reaction to the witches this year, since last year he was afraid of them. Even though this second time around was a little better, it was easy to tell Cannon was still a little scared of the green faced gals and wouldn't stand alone next to one. :)
This week will be filled with more fall fun carving pumpkins, making caramel apples, and getting some pre-Halloween candy at our ward's "trunk or treat" at church. Also, this weekend we are planning on dressing up the kids for the Halloween Spooktacular event at the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum. If anyone wants to meet us at the museum this weekend, let me know! It looks like it will be fun!
