Halloween was pretty low key this year... Sadly, it is our busy time at work so I had been working between 50-60 hours per week, six days a week, and even supposed to work on Halloween :( We get many other holidays off, and paid, but not Halloween... and when you have a two year old, that is just not cool... Anyway, I went to work, feeling like a bad mom, which I'm sure we all have our moments... but I knew Josh would have a good time with Jaxon and all would be fine. Well, I got to work and about a half hour later my boss let most of us go home... it was AWESOME, I literally almost cried out of excitement.
So I hurried home and threw together a "cowgirl" costume for myself out of my closet, and Jaxon was a firefighter... we handed out candy in our front yard and ordered pizza for dinner... a little after it got dark we met up with my best friend and her family for trick-or-treating in their neighborhood and Jaxon was able to run around with his buddy Carter and had a blast!! He totally started understanding the concept of saying "trick or treat" and getting candy in his pumpkin bucket... it is SUCH A COMPLETE JOY as a mother to watch your children enjoy the holidays, it really doesn't get much better! Here are a few pictures from our night...
We even had time to do trick-or-treating at the mall where Jaxon was able to meet the real firefighters and get to sit in the fire truck!
Carter and Jaxon
Oh and yes, little mister firefighter insisted on wearing his camo rain boots...
and that is when you just let it be...
