halloween

halloween.  i don't really know the history.  i suppose i could pretend by saying something about back in the day people trying to ward off spirits by dressing up  like spirits themselves or something like that but i don't really know and i'm too busy to wiki it.  so, anyways, cashel was the flash.  he (i) don't really know who the flash is.  i probably saw it when i was little, i know jason did, but the bottom line is this...he thought he was spiderman.  he kept saying, i'm spiderman.  ok, actually before that happened, he wanted nothing to do with his costume really.  jason got it on him once and he was super excited but then wanted it off.  i would get it on him for about a minute before he would say "off!  off!"  we thought that with his daycare he would be more amenable, and he was...for a while...here are the pictures to prove it:

cashel knows his stories at "circle time" so well, he gets very excited and runs up, front and center, to help tell the story

 then...on the day of halloween we were at nana's.  she really wanted to see him in his outfit.  here we go:

 then...on the way home from nana's, here i am thinking, oh, we'll just go home, but at 4:30, cashel starts saying, "trick or treat?"  well, i have his costume in the car and explain to him that he'll have to wear his outfit and he totally goes for it:

proud and ready...of course he has to have a ball...

he got a blue blow pop at the first house that would open the door (it was 5:15..a little early i suppose)

his latest?  looking at himself in the mirror...a prius will do

happy halloween!
