Halloween was rough at our house this year! It was a week filled with activities and fun events and by the time Friday rolled around, Owen was exhausted and acting out. He had a really fun day at school where he got to wear his costume, play Halloween games, parade through the school for the big kids to see and exchange candy with his friends in the dolphin room. By the time he got home, he was grouchy about eating dinner, and was testing his limits. We were supposed to go out trick-or-treating with our neighbors, but he refused to put either a coat or multiple shirts on under his costume. After a few time outs and him being disrespectful, we decided that he wasn't going out trick-or-treating. Little did he know that it broke our hearts probably more than his. The one thing that made me feel better was that he brought home a huge bag of candy and treats from school, so it wasn't like he "needed" any more candy. It's the experience that I felt bad for him to be missing out on.
He actually really enjoyed handing out the candy, but then midway through the evening, he lost it again over where the bowl of candy was going to sit. So, he ended up heading to bed. :( The weekend only got worse from there, but thankfully, by Monday, he was back to his normal self again! Mom and Dad might not have been able to handle another day!!!
Miss Hattie's costume was way too big, so this was her Halloween outfit. She is really starting to smile and interact now, so she is getting pretty fun!
