Halloween was fun this year. We didn't really build it up too much for Chase prior to a few days before. Honestly, this was mostly because I was worried that the more we talked about it the more Chase would change his mind about what he wanted to be. The only real thing he said he wanted to be was Angelina Ballerina. Which is lovely. I mean, I'm ok embracing Chase's feminine side and all but I didn't really want a ton of pictures of Chase dressed up like a ballerina. Let's just be real. Also, Kristina had offered up Wes's fireman costume from last year and I'm all about the hand-me-downs. So when I suggested to Chase that maybe he could be a fireman and he said ok, I was pretty thrilled.
Another thing that ended up being pretty cute was that Wes wanted to be a fireman again this year. So they could fight all the Durham County fires together. Although Chase kept asking where the fire truck was all night, which I thought was pretty funny.
We went over to Wes and Parker's house, had some dinner and drinks and then headed out to do some trick-or-treating in their nearby neighborhood.
We had practiced with Chase how it would go down. He didn't seem shy about being the first one in line to knock on people's doors. Although it was pretty funny the first couple of times because when he knocked on the door and the person opened the door, he tried to walk in their house. Which I guess makes sense. I mean, isn't that what you normally do? :)
Then, he would hold out his pumpkin. I said, "what do you say, Chase?" (hoping to prompt him to say "trick-or-treat"). Instead, he said, "thank you!" before getting the candy. So we'll work on that for next time.
All in all it was a successful (but rainy) Halloween with our 2 firefighters, bumblebee and Fancy Nancy.
