Trick Or Treat

It was a beautiful morning with the moon and the bare trees.  

Since we were not going home first before going to Landon's, I took Baylor to dinner at a pizza shop.  Apparently everyone orders pizza on trick or treat night and it was a 45 minute wait!  Thankfully they brought the fries out first.  I let him have the epic fry! 

So my township is a bit odd and likes to have trick or treat the Thursday before Hallowe'en, which kind of ruins Hallowe'en day for me.  Landon had asked us if we could to with him and I said sure.  I had to remember to tell the neighbors we would not be going with them this year and while I am sure they were a bit sad, Baylor has his friends now too so I don't feel like I need to make him go with my friends, or the neighbors, in this case.  

I would say about a third of the neighborhood was 'Open for Hallowe'en Business' with decorations and lights on.  Some people seemed to be playing a trick with their porch light on and no-one home.  They were not nice in my book.  One house had a fog machine.  Landon is pretty reserved by himself but with Baylor there were fairly brave unless a dog appeared.  Baylor hates being licked and Landon flat out does not like dogs. 

It was a beautiful sunset!! 

Sometimes he wore his mask, which was hard to see out of and sometimes his hat, which made his head hot and sweaty.

And sometimes he was all natural. 

After an hour of walking around we headed to the fire truck for pizza and more candy.  By this time Baylor's pumpkin was overflowing and I was carrying between houses anyway.

Merida came with us, the daughter of Landon's dad's friend.  I think his friend was either not very personable or just annoyed that I was trying to talk to them.  It is not like we were walking around with our kids for the last hour, I am not sure what I was thinking trying to be friendly. Oh well.  After pizza, Baylor said he was done so we headed to the car and left.  Landon and Merida apparently keep on treating on.  Baylor gave three Reeses to Mr Alex, someone at the school who stands by them during dismissal.  Baylor said Mr Alex told him if he was in his class, he would be the star student for the day.  I don't know who Mr Alex is but it made me happy Baylor wanted to share with him.  

When we got home, he asked me to take a candy selfie.  How could I resist.
