Halloween Night

Mason was a pirate for Halloween this year. He had the pirate talk down~he'd say things like, "Arr, Me Mateys" and "Walk the plank!" As we always do on Halloween night, we went to my parent's house for a chili dinner and trick-or-treating around their neighborhood. My parent's get a lot of trick-or-treaters at their door, so it's also fun to see all the kids' costumes and pass out candy.
We got out fairly early, due to having a 3 year old and the fact that there happened to be a Razorback football game on at trick-or-treating time! (Can you say "scheduling conflict?")
Mason remembered about half of the time to say "Trick or Treat" and managed to mumble "Thank you" at each house until I we pointed out that people couldn't hear him. The next house we visited got a very loud "THANK YOU!!!" We couldn't help but laugh.
Mason did good walking around until he got tired toward the end and Daddy "got" to carry all 40 pounds of him.
The rest of the evening was spent handing out candy and laughing with family and a few friends...another great Halloween!


Here's the very serious "ARRRRRRR"

He was so impressed that the pretzels were shaped like bats & jack-o-lanterns!
