Trick-or-Treating Galore

Isaac with his buddy Quinn. They have a lot of fun together!

Isaac and I had a crazy day! We spent the afternoon trick or treating on Main Street in Ann Arbor. It is an annual activity where the shops downtown open their doors and pass out candy. We went last year but Isaac was too little to do anything. We just walked around in the stroller. This year however, Isaac figured it out! He had multiple meltdowns at first when I tried to help him understand that we put the candy in our bag for later. His little brain just didn't understand why he couldn't have it right then! Each store had balloons out front so he would find the balloons, run to them, and then go inside and say Trick-or-treat until he found the person with the candy. Sometimes he would take two and give one of them to a child behind him. He would then exclaim, "I'm nice!" By the time we came home I was worn out. Three of the blocks didn't have candy and I had to carry him on my shoulders. I needed the work out...

Every time someone asked or stated if he was Bob the Builder he would push the button on his belt that made sounds from the show. It was adorable. Later that night we went to the church trunk-or-treat. I had never done it before and it was a lot of fun. Jonathan was able to take Isaac to the cars and see how adorable Isaac was getting candy. Isaac and Jonathan walked around in the costume parade as well. It was a really fun day. I am okay with celebrating Halloween on the 29th. I think we have had plenty of fun celebrating and have enough candy to last us (or my therapy kids...) awhile!

Jonathan and I decided that we need to get into the Halloween spirit and come up with costumes. If we aren't creative enough, we decided we would just do whatever our friends the Adamson's did the previous year. Too bad we didn't think of it in time. I think Jonathan would have made a great Tornado!
