Halloween!

Last year was a battle getting Jackson into his costume. He didn't like it and after a lot of talking he finally put it on. This year, he didn't even want to buy a costume. We kept asking him who he would like to be and he kept saying,"No Halloween! No trick or treating!" We would tell him he could get candy and he still said no. Every time we talked about it, he just said no. He had finally said he wanted to be Buzz when we were talking with Cooper about it. When we went to the store and showed him costumes and the Buzz one, he got all upset and said he didn't want it. So instead of spending money on a costume that we know would have been a struggle to get him in, we just put on his Utah jersey so he could be a "football player."

We started the night out by having our annual Halloween dinner at the Preston's house. The whole street is invited and this year we had a ton of people come! It was so much fun.  Then all the kids were ready to go trick or treating. Jackson was excited when he saw the other kids go. He went to two houses and was done. We would say,"Let's go to this house and get more candy!" His response was,"I already have some!" He was content with his couple pieces. It was making CJ and I laugh so hard. We thought maybe if he went with Cooper he would get more into it. When Cooper got to our street though, he still didn't care. We were able to get him to go to a few houses, but he wouldn't take candy from anybody. CJ had to get it and hand it to him. 

We decided that it wasn't worth pushing. If Jackson was done then lets be done! We decided to go home and we really only went to about six houses. When we got to our house, the door was locked. I was the last one who had used the key and I had gone in and left it on the counter and locked the door when I left. Below is Jackson and I waiting while CJ went to his brothers house and got a house key from them. We weren't sure they had one, but thankfully they did and live so close! CJ just kept shaking his head at me. I just made Halloween a little more adventurous!

We went to my sister, Holly's house because my Mom had come up and made spudnut doughnuts! They are the absolute best so we had to go get some. We hung out at their house for a little bit and then decided to go home and get Jackson in bed. It was a fun day spent with friends and family. Maybe next year Jackson will want to dress up and trick or treat.

Love this picture! My two cute boys!
