Halloween recap............

We have had a busy weekend with Halloween, Kyans 4th birthday party and our visit from the Grandma's. Halloween was a success, both kids had a blast. They were dressed as The Tortoise (Nolan) and The Hare (Kyan). Nolan was amazed at all the spooky Halloween decorations both before the big day and while trick or treating. Inside the spirit store (big Halloween store) he would walk up to "scary guys" (kyans names for zombies, ghosts, witches etc) touch them, scream, jump back and laugh. It was all so priceless and at the same time funny how much he wants to do EVERYthing big bro. does! While out gathering candy Kyan was able to experience his first haunted house (our neighbor creates his own annually. He did great only yelling at one "scary guy" and saying "get away from me!" You may think we are nuts exposing our 4 year old to this but ....Our theory in Parenting: If you always tell the truth your child, your child will always trust you! We reassured him they were just people in masks just like him. Example number 2 supporting our Theory, 2 year Imms, we were honest and told him they would hurt, but only for a few seconds, the kid didn't even cry! How many kids don't cry when the get a few shots at 2 years old? I'm telling you, it works but I think he's so laid back because we have been doing this from day one, that's why little "white lies" drive us insane!!! Anyways back to Halloween. Mick and I got to go out together!!!! Both our Mom's came down so we could go to the Law School Halloween Bash. We had a lot of fun dressing up but were disappointed that we lost the costume contest to Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin. I do however think that it had to do with our karaoke performance to guns and roses "Sweet Child of Mine" just prior to the contest! Oh well maybe next year!
