I'm a little behind on my Halloween post but better late than never. We had a great weekend leading up to Halloween and a terrific Halloween! Jack had a chance for a practice run at trick or treating Friday night at his school. He did well walking around the school and was interested in why people were giving him things. Monday was a fun but long day for everyone. Jack had school, speech and then we headed over to the Smith's house to play while we waited for Justin and Chuck to come home from work. We dressed up the kids and took them around the neighborhood. Jack did an amazing job at walking up to the doors, he even was going up with just Chuck and Lila by the last few houses. There was only one time he got a little scared of a man that answered the door in a storm trooper costume. He knocked on a few doors and when given the chance to take a piece of candy from a bowl would grab one and place it in his pumpkin bucket. He had a blast coming back and getting in the wagon to ride to the next house. Justin and I could not be prouder of how well he did with the whole experience. Jack got to enjoy a sucker on our way back to the house and went to bed an his normal time. Peyton was tired by the end of the night but was the cutes little pumpkin.
This week has gone by fast and Justin leaves tomorrow for a quick trip back to STL. Its hard to believe that next weekend is the Autism Speaks walk and that three weeks from today it will be Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to seeing our family a few times this month and getting excited to host Thanksgiving here this year.
Both kids are finally better (and I hope I'm not jinxing things by saying this) and I hope they stay that way for a while :-) I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween and is having a great week!
