Halloween

Will went as a caveman this year for his first real Halloween. Thanks to Nana Niki, he was rarin' to go. all set in faux fur everything on his hat, etc. caveman 'club' and we were dialed.

got to our girlfriend Holly's for a little H-ween party and had such fun. surprisingly, will actually kept the costume on! he played and played.

then we went downtown. So, they close off the streets in steamboat and open it to all kids and trick or treaters. all the shopkeepers sit on their stoops and hand out candy and it is really about the best event in steamboat. pretty insane.

anyway, will's eyes were open wide from the moment we got out of the car and saw a clown ride his bike by us to walking through the haunted realtor office with me. (he could care less about the haunted). at the beginning, he was nervous and soaking it all in. then, after about 3 shops, he would wriggle his way through the line and hold his little bag and say 'twicker tweat'! then he would get a piece of candy and some darling smiles and he'd say 'dankkkk uuuu' and walk away and look into his basket and see what he got. pretty amazing.

niki and bill loved watching it all unfold. had a grand time. took photos and really loved spending time with will. will could care less about the scary costumes...he was more entranced by them. i spent lots of time explaining it all so he felt a part of it in his costume. now he loves his pumpkins at home and his candy bowl and everything. i am sure he thinks we will do this every saturday nite.

photos to come! oh, and, despite being totally wound up and amped up on sugar sat nite, he slept like a champ. all night and woke up, ready to take on the leaves and house cleanup on Daylight Savings Sunday!
