The Solis Family: .halloween 2010.

BOO!!!

Eek!!!

I love Halloween as much as the next person, but I'd like to know when it became a week long deal? Whew! I'm tired. I don't seem to remember Halloween meaning dressing up several different times, Fall Festivals, parties, AND trick or treating. Maybe I just had a "low-key" kinda childhood. I remember dressing up to go to school...and then trick or treating that night. That was it! BAM!! Done and gone!

Nate had a busy Halloween week as well, but it was fun....and, especially this year, he LOVED it. First, he had his school Fall Festival. He was so excited to finally dress up in his costume. Actually, we couldn't get him to take it off. Morning, noon, and night...he wore it.

Our neighbors put together a Halloween Block Party for the second year in a row. The kids have a blast, the adults have a blast, there's food, games, a jump house, contests, etc. Now Nate has no interest in jump houses, but he sure knew where the cookies were. Every time I turned around, that kid had a cookie in his hand. He is his Daddy's son as I, at one point, found him watching the game inside with a few of the guys. Umm, I know it sounds like I don't really pay attention to where my kid is...but seriously, I do! Seriously.

I don't have any pictures from that night - Boo! Bad mom. But trust me, he had a good time.

Then came Sunday - Halloween! Before we were set to go trick or treating, we had some good friends over for a Ghoulish Dinner!!
