halloween fun

Yesterday was filled with spooky fun. Lewis and I headed to a birthday/costume party just after lunch. Our friend from church, John Stark Logan, is turning 3 this week, and his family pulled out all the stops. Lewis was a cowboy. My grandfather, Marrion Ledbetter, was a real cowboy in Texas, so this could be a good career option in the future.

Lewis liked this sign and the balloon floating above it.

John Stark was Mickey Mouse, and we got to ride this wagon around the neighborhood. It was pretty fun.

After the party, my sister, Ellen, came to visit and we all went trick or treating in Fountain Square. Here's a video of Owen getting used to his dinosaur costume.



Lewis insisted on carrying two pumpkins (his and Owen's) as we walked around. He did great saying "trick or treat" which was a big difference from last year when he used signs for "candy please." He was very excited about the candy this year too, and would say "get more candy!" in between stops.

We were really impressed by the great candy the business people in the square were giving out. This was much better than all the hard candy you get at the mall.

After we went all the way around, we stopped in at Spencer's for a potty break and Owen got to walk around in his dinosaur costume. We quizzed Lewis about Halloween.

Next we headed to Aunt Monica's (Justin's sister) who lives in town.

We had dinner at Steak n' Shake after that. Owen was acting crazy, maybe it was due to the sugar he'd eaten. Here's a video of some of his antics.



When we got home, Lewis and daddy checked out the stash of candy.

Owen wanted to see for himself. It was a fun and exhausting day!
