Halloween 2009

Jackson was Thomas the choo choo train this year. Since I worked all day we decided that we would go to a couple of indoor events. The first was trick or treating at Rayley's grocery store where all his friends at the store gave him apples, juice, a balloon and some candy too. I was surprised when he knew to put all his treasures in his Thomas pail and keep on walking to the next person. He seemed to enjoy himself. Then we went to the Automobile Museum for more trick or treating and games. He did really well walking around to all the different candy stops and even tried his hand at fishing for pumpkins. It will probably be a bit more fun when he is a little older and able to participate in more of the games. Then we went to a few more stops at the next door neighbors. He first stopped at our neighbor John's house where he kept giving Jackson more and more candy while Jack tried to get into his house. We need to work on this it seems. Then we were off to Mary's. Jackson managed to get into her house and she was very happy about it. She gave Jackson a special treat bag with homemade cookies and a coloring book. Jack knew how to say thank you with somersaults and hugs. He is such a good boy. By the time we got home we were all tired and didn't even eat much candy. All in all a good Halloween.

A little girl who saw Jackson walking by, got out of her little car stroller and shared a dum dum sucker with him. So cute.

He kept posing like that and I tried to get him to put his foot down but it actually turned out pretty cute.
