Halllllooooooooowweeeeeen

Halloween was pretty cool this year. Mom started asking me a long time ago what I wanted to be. She said I could be Superman, a Fireman or a Baseball Player. I went back and forth for a while, leaning towards Superman or a Fireman. But finally I decided on Fireman. Mom bought me a costume, but kept it a secret. Then one day the week before Halloween I came home from school and told Mom I wanted to be a bat. Because Diego is a bat for Halloween and Brockton at school was going to be a bat. So, naturally, I wanted to as well. Mom shook her head and said, "Well, you already told me you wanted to be a Fireman, so you will have to be a Fireman." Can't a kid change his mind? I guess not. Later that night, after my bath, Mom took out a green bag and do you want to know what was in it? It was a really cool Fireman costume. It looked just like the one I got to try on at the Fire Station a couple of weeks before. As soon as I had that costume on, I was very serious. Fireman have to be very serious, because their job is very dangerous. So, being a bat for Halloween was thrown out the window, and once again, I was going to be a Fireman.
So, on Halloween I got to go to my party at school and see everyone else's costumes. Then when Grandma Peggy brought me home, it was time to go Trick-or-Treating. But first Mom and Dad brought me to the FIRE STATION. All of the fire trucks and fireman were sleeping but we took some pictures outside. Some by the fire dog and some by the Number 3 sign. It was cool. Then it was time to start walking. We waited until we got down by Tommy and Caitlin's house then we started going up to people's doors. We would ring the doorbell and then Mom would say Trick-or-Treat and they would give me candy! How cool is this? Soon I started saying Trick-or-Treat myself and Mom and Dad made sure I always said thank you. Eventually I tried just taking candy from the bowl, but Mom and Dad said I couldn't do that, I had to wait until they offered it to me or put it in my Elmo bucket.
Along the way we saw a lot of cool decorations in people yards and on their houses. There were funny looking pirates (dad said they were skeletons), ghosts and SO many pumpkins. I also saw some pretty flowers. Mom and Dad let me smell them. Some smelled like red and some smelled like yellow. Mom said she didn't want to smell them, I guess she already knows what red and yellow smells like. After a while I was pretty tired, but Mom and Dad said that if I wanted to keep stopping at houses for candy, then I needed to keep walking. Uff, it was hard, but I made it most of the way...slowly. It was fun and I didn't want it to end, so Grandma Peggy took me to a couple more houses on the way to her house.
Pretty fun day. Why don't we dress up and ask for candy more often?
