Trunk-or-Treating

This year we were lucky enough to have cousins as well as grandma and grandpa Slade here for trunk-or-treating. Brody was a natural at trunk-or-treating. He carried his bag around and opened it up for people to put candy in it. I'm not sure he knew exactly why he was walking around with a sack, but he had a good time doing it. He received a lot of yummy treats and being the responsible mother that I am I ate most of them so he wouldn't rot his teeth! What can I say I'm a sucker for chocolate. So is my boy I'm afraid it's amazing what traits they pick up from hanging out with you.
We had a great time with James' parents and were so glad that they could come and spend a few days with us. Brody got a kick out of playing with them and loved the dvd of stories grandma made. It was fun to see family and we hope to see everyone soon.
Halloween was a little different this year because we didn't go trick-or-treating. However, we had a great time handing out candy and hanging out with Steve and Heather. I learned something this year. Always hand candy to trick-or-treaters because if you don't they will take handfuls. That's my advice to all. After running out of candy fast we watched the scariest kind of movie Steve and I can handle. . . Ironman. Yep, not scary at all that's the kind we like. I thought it was a pretty good movie, the suit was cool if nothing else. Holidays are awesome what can I say.
