Caleb and Ace: 11/02/08

What a week! It was packed with halloween fun! Our festivities started last weekend with our neighborhood parade. They do this every year for the kids to get together and show off their costumes. It really gets them excited to go trick or treating and is always lots of fun!

Caleb came in one day and asked me if we could make caramel apples. I have no idea where he saw them or heard of them but I promised him that we could make some before Halloween. That was a fun mess! He did not realize how hard they were to eat. He really wanted to like them but a couple of bites and he was done. This made Jamie really happy! I did not even get one!

Halloween night was a blast! Melody and Aiden come over every year to go trick or treating with us. Last year was a learning experience for Caleb and Aiden but this year they knew EXACTLY what to do and they were ready to go! Our good friends next door, Carlee and Cade were with us this year too. Cade is only two so Caleb and Aiden had to show him how it was done. He will be ready next year.

Caleb went as a Yankee's baseball player, Aiden was batman and Cade was a Dallas Cowboy player. We tried to get Caleb to get a costume like all of his friends but he will not hear of it, he has to be something sports related. Last year he went as a Titan's player and this year we are all about baseball. It will be interesting to see what it will be next year.

Ace went as a bat and was not at all crazy about his costume. I have to say though, he was a real trooper, he actually wore his hat all night! He thought that he was as big as the other boys. We pushed him in his car but when he saw Caleb and his friends walking up to a house he had to go too! Luckily he never figured out that candy was involved, he would just walk up to the house and say "hi" and he was done...off to the next house.
