| Trunk or Treat & Trick or Treating |
|
  This year Justin was a skunk for Halloween, and the cutest skunk ever I might add. He had cute little chubby cheeks, and on the back left corner was a red heart that said "Lil Stinker". When you ask him what does the skunk say, he'd say "PU" and holds his nose. It's so cute. The Sunday before Halloween we went to our church 's "Trunk or Treat" which is their version of Halloween, similar to Fall Festival. It used to be that the kids would go around the parking lot from car trunk to car trunk and grab some candy, but now a days they have inflatables, cake walks, and games at every booth to win candy. Alot funner that way!
Justin enjoyed it much more this year. He actually enjoyed all the games and for the most part understood the whole concept of playing a game then getting candy. By sheer luck, Justin and I won on the first try at the cake walk. By the end of the night he got a handful of candy, plenty for a 2 year old, and only ate a few suckers along the way. He actually liked wearing his costume, but did try to take off the head piece a few times. He was amazingly well behaved up until the very last minute when we were getting ready to leave. It was a much more pleasant experience than last year!
We had intended just to go to the Trunk or Treat, but my friend, who came to OUR church's event, invited us to go trick or treating in THEIR neighborhood on Halloween night. So, we went. I had been teaching Justin the day before and day of to say "Trick or Treat". He picked it up very well; although I think it was more like "Tick or Teat" or "Chick or Cheat"; I don't know. At first he didn't want to put his pumpkin bag out for the candy givers to put candy in his bag; he just wanted to hold it in his hand. However, after a few houses he figured it out. He was very good at saying "Trick or Treat" and said "Thank You" most of the time.
That night, I figured out what was Justin's favorite candy....the lollipop. He must of ate 5 or 6 atleast. At first it was hilarious, then it was just annoying...Every time he would eat a sucker, he'd lick it down pretty low but not all the way then hand it to me to finish or dispose of, grab another sucker and proceed to do the same thing. This happened many times, so I had plenty of suckers that night too.
Overall I'd say it went very well. He seemed to catch on quickly and actually enjoy it. He behaved himself very well, until we stopped the candy consumption, then all hell broke loose :)
