Happy Halloween!

Halloween expectations: Thomas the Tank Engine, blowing his train whistle and collecting candy throughout our neighborhood.

Enter: cold rain and a certain two-year old refusing to wear his costume.

Halloween reality: Chris Cooley making his way through our local mall, snagging extra candy from adoring fans amidst Christmas decorations.

Getting started

Uncle Nick - this one's for you.  A football player AND a black eye.  You're welcome.

I wasn't kidding about the Christmas decorations.

The rain stopped just in time to visit some of our neighbors, and meet up with some friends, on the way home.

Ethan hit the jackpot on our street, and I'd be lying if I said I hadn't already gotten into the Almond Joys!

All-in-all it was a fun night, and my little all-star was asleep within minutes! I guess it's hard work being famous.

Hope y'all had a fun and safe Halloween! What did you and/or your kids dress-up as this year?
