I'll lengthen this post laster, but I just had to share a little of Jake's antics last night. First, it took a while for him to get the hang of saying "Trick or Treat." The first 10 houses or so, as soon as they opened the door he would say, "We came for candy!" Then, after he got the hang of it, he switched to starting conversations with every adult that opened the door. "What YOU goin' ta be for Halloween??" One soft spoken little woman didn't have an answer, he just giggled and giggled saying "She's soooo funny!" He was so gone with tired excitement by that time. The last straw though, was when a big guy opened the door. He had short cropped gray hair and looked like he could have been an ex-marine, very solid fellow. Jake took one look at him and said "You got a flat head!" OMG, all the adults tried to keep from bursting out laughing. Kids are so blatantly honest. They think it and next thing, it's out of their mouthes. We had his cousin Kyle with us, who was the candy monitor. If Jake got more than one, he'd give it back to the person. And Ethan, his other cousin kept giving my brother all the KitKats he was given. A 7 year old who will share their candy...I was impressed. All said, it was a great time.
I hope you enjoyed Halloween as well.
