Halloween

I think it's safe to say Nate had a great Halloween this year. He dressed up as the Alien from the Toy Story movies. It was his second year wearing the costume, but hey, if the costume fits....

On Friday our community had a Halloween event at the Towne Hall. We met up with Nate's friend, Evan and they had lots of fun decorating cookies, doing crafts, getting their palms read and just running around.

Monday, of course, was the big day. Nate got to show off his costume all over the place. First at the dayhome, where one of the girls brought caramel apples for everyone. Then at school, where they had a Halloween assembly, and a class celebration. And finally, the ultimate event....trick-or-treating!

We went out with Evan and his mom, and ran into quite a few other friends along the way. It was great to see them have so much fun getting candy and various other things. He got a couple of playdohs as usual, and one house was even giving out Hot Wheels! Nate kept saying he wanted to go home, but then he was right beside Evan at the next house, waiting for more candy. We finally called it a night after 2 hours, when Nate said he was tired and his feet were sore. Mine were too.

All in all, we got 2 full grocery bags full of munchies, so we're set for a few weeks at least!
