This year was the first time that David understood what Halloween was about. It all began about a month ago when we made a trek out to Target and he saw his costume. Not surprising, he chose to dress up as Thomas the Train. As for our little Isa, we didn't plan on dressing her up until I couldn't resist a deal, a little princess outfit for five bucks, it was so worth it. She ate up all the compliments. David had so much fun and many opportunities to wear his outfit, along with his toot toot Thomas shirt (thanks tia Mari). We went to a Halloween carnival, complete with a bouncy house on Thursday and then on Friday, David had a Halloween party at school. Finally in the evening our friends also had a party for the kids and we took them trick or treating. At first I assumed David wouldn't get it, but he kept up with the older crowd, saying trick or treat at each door, beaming when people welcomed him and called him Thomas the train, he just needed help taking only one candy. Needless to say, his Elmo pumpkin was overflowing. His costume was a bit long, so at times he would trip over it, all his candy would dump out, but he would just collect all his goodies, brush himself off and run to catch up with the group. The neighborhood we hit was handing out several full sized candy bars, but after all his falls, only one made it home, I guess that helped our diet :)
