Happy Halloween

Anyone that knows Cole knows it takes some time for him to warm up to strangers.  He must asses his surroundings before he takes part in a situation and he always needs to be aware of where Brian and I are at (in a new setting).

Well, none of that is true on Halloween.  Cole amazed me with how outgoing, ambitious and overall fearless of strangers he was.  He had no qualms with going house to house, waving and smiling then putting out his pumpkin for candy.  By the second house he had this process down and was running house to house giggling with delight between each house.  When someone allowed him to choose a candy he would look into the bowl with complete concentration and delicately select one candy.  If the person did not move the bowl fast enough he figured it was because he was allowed to select another candy.  We'd laugh as his hand went in the bowl again, he'd clap and then grab a handful of candy and clap some more.  It was so dang cute! 

Greyson slept through his first Halloween but he is enjoying the aftermath with all the candy I am consuming.  Not so good for the weight loose goal but hell, Halloween comes once a year! 

After the excitement of trick or treating we got home, relaxed and put Cole to bed by 9:30.  He woke up at 3:30am ready to play.  He was full of energy from the night before (mind you he has had no candy yet).  I got up with him and we played.  Okay, he played and I tried desperately to stay awake.  At 7:30am I notice it is very quiet in the play room.  I go to investigate and guess who is passed out amongst his Lego's and trains...my precious, amazing boy, Cole.

As a side note, but something worth noting...GREYSON SLEPT 9:30PM TO 6:30AM.  This is a first :)
