I Want Candy...I want Candy...

Jackson was obsessed with getting as much candy as possible this year. He woke up in the best mood and immediately started talking about all the candy he would get today, even offering to share his chocolate treats with me (I'm a chocolate snob, no Hershey's for me). Candy is an excellent motivator.... 

Jackson teamed up with two buddies this year for trick-or-treating and they put a hurt on the neighborhood candy stash. They made out like bandits, even having to stop and dump their basket twice into our larger bags. How much candy does a little boy need?!?!

This year we lucked out with nice weather, cold but not raining. After trick-or-treating everyone came back to our house where my parents had been handing out candy and warmed up with some chili and a fire. Believe it or not, after dinner the boys forgot about devouring their candy and simply played.

It was a 'sweet' Halloween!

Jackson wanted Maggee to be a princess this Halloween. I had fun honoring his wish! Maggee...not so much.

 Jackson and I Halloween morning, He was so excited to get on with the day. No proding needed to get dressed, etc. I wish all mornings were like this!

***I have no idea what this new smile on Jackson is all about. He recently had school pictures taken and this smile made another appearance.
