Halloween Fun!

Garner held Treats on the Streets today; it was our trial run with Aidan in his parrot costume.

Since it was 30 degrees when we left, I bundled him up - he could hardly move and the parrot head wouldn't come up over his head due to the hat and two hoods.

Poor kid!

Kurk, Jenn, and Abs were there too!

So were Nikki, Blake, and Carson:

Off we go!

Aidan walked about half a block before we started to hold up the line.

Thankfully, Mr. Kurk held Aidan "up so high!" to each storefront.

 Sometimes Aidan tested out his wings...

 Yay for fun friends and Trick-or-Treat!

Aidan dumped out all of his candy the moment we got home.

He was in sample mode: Take one bite, open another piece, take one bite, etc.

We finally convinced him the candy would last longer if we placed it in a Ziploc and kept it in the cupboard.

Surprisingly, he agreed!

Then we carved Aidan's pumpkin.

 "Whoa...gooey!"

He was no help separating the seeds from the goo - "No hands dirty."

 "I done wif pumpkin."

 "I see Leo."

 But he was back at it when Daddy asked if he could use Aidan's markers to draw the eyes, nose, and mouth.

 Wonderful pumpkin, Aidan!

The parrot is invited to a Halloween party Monday afternoon, and we look forward to Trick-or-Treating with friends on Wednesday night (followed by a soup supper & games at church).  I can't tell who's more excited: Mommy or Aidan?!

Happy Halloween!
