Halloween 2009

Fox (Ironman), Dax (Chunky Monkey), and Jayde (Ladybug Princess)


Boston, Jayde, Brityn, Fox, Dax and Corbin



For weeks I have been hearing Jayde ask, "Can we go to Halloween? PLEASE?!!" Finally the day arrived and the kids were so excited. Unfortunately they had to wait ALL DAY LONG before they could 'Go To Halloween' as Jayde puts it.

Anticipating what would surely be an exciting adventure we got on the golf cart with Kevin, Tiffany, and Boston and we were off to go trick or treating. What a site it was to see Fox, Jayde and Boston running from door to door having such a good time. Fox ran so fast I thought he was going to run people over while Jayde was holding on to her hat hoping it wouldn't fall off. I wish I had a picture of that, but it was a little rainy that night so I didn't take the camera.

Jayde, what a little trooper she is. She was having so much fun. She tried so hard to keep up with Fox and Boston, but that was a little tricky as they are much faster than she is. I think she must have thought that we would leave her if she didn't get back to the golf cart as quickly as the boys did. As she was running back to us as fast as she could possibly run, she tripped and fell and did a face plant into the lawn. Shawn hurried to see if she was ok and the first thing she said to Shawn was, "Will you help me get my candy?" Never mind that she fell face first into the the wet grass, but is my candy all there?

Relieved that she is ok we went on our way. At the next house, down she went again. Still no crying came of it because all was well in the candy world. However, she didn't get up to the door in time for the person handing out candy to see her and the door got shut before she received her share of the goods. Now she started crying. Shawn had to help her up to the door.

After a few more falls and one lost shoe, everything started looking up. She stopped tripping and was very proud of herself for not falling as she let us know each time she got back to the golf cart. Then as we were driving to the next house, she dropped her candy bucket and the candy went everywhere on the dark road. That was a sad moment, but she got all her candy back and all was well in the candy world again.

It was nice having the golf cart. Dax sat on my lap and fell asleep while the kids had lots of fun getting their candy that I am going to have to hide pretty soon or I am going to go crazy.
