Dean kept on his antenna hat for the most part, and quickly caught on to the concept of filling his pumpkin with candy. Our honey bee became an angry hornet when we wouldn't let him open each piece. At Dean's age Bella had no idea of the sweet treats that were tucked inside the colorful wrappers, nor did she care. Little gets past Dean. After about the 6th house we noticed he had bitten a hole in a Kit Kat bar and was picking little pieces of chocolate wafer out, munching away. Boy was he happy. He earned it, so we didn't interfere. Our little bee had sampled the sweet nectar of Halloween...his first candy bar at 1 1/2.
Bella picked out her Halloween costume with GeGe (her grandmother) some time ago, and couldn't wait to be Snow White. She came home from The Disney Store with all the accessories. The dress, the wand and the shoes. Oh, the shoes. Yes, they were beautiful, but what person puts a wedge on shoes for a 3 year old? Of course she had to wear them, then complained all night about them hurting her feet! (100% female). At least she didn't break her ankle. She really had a magical night and was the Bella of the Ball. She was in trouble for not staying in her room and still hasn't gotten any candy, but she doesn't seem to care.
Eric and I went to an adult only/no kids party the weekend before as a matador and a devil. It was a great great time just the two of us. It is hard to believe 10 years ago on Halloween we got married in Atlanta on another beautiful fall night. How our lives have changed....for the better because of our two little monsters.
