Halloween Day

The kids had a ton of fun dressing up for Halloween this year. Savannah was a High School Musical Cheerleader and Payton couldn’t decided if he wanted to be Batman or Spiderman, so he decided to be Batman for Ms. Becki’s party and Spiderman to go trick-or-treating. We got takeout from Pei Wei to start our evening. The kids could hardly eat since they were so excited for the night. We took the kids to our local church where they had a trunk-or-treat. They were both excited since they both got a lot of candy. Afterwards we went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood with Ms. Becki and her girls. We hit a couple of houses that were really scary and Payton decided that trick-or-treating is just too scary for him. One house had a mummy standing by the basketball hoop and you thought he was just a dummy until he came walking out. The house that Payton decided he had, had enough at was a guy that was in his garage acting out that he was chopping up bodies and then putting them in the freezer. I have to admit that it was pretty scary. I had to call Chad to come pick up Payton since it was a bit too much for him. Payton is funny since he likes to be scared, but then he doesn’t. After the mummy came out and scared him and then went back to his spot, Payton would creep up to him and say boo and try to scare him back. Payton thought that he was so tough being in his Spiderman costume. He was ok until the mummy then started coming back at him again. The following Monday was school and Payton went in and told Mrs. Robertson “Halloween is just too scary for me.” He has since talked about Halloween for weeks he liked it and yet it might have been a little much. He keeps asking when Halloween is next since he cannot wait for next year.
