Yes my friends. Our kid went as a door. He came up with it all by himself a month or two ago when I started talking to him about Halloween. I like to prep him in advance because he's never sure of new things. I explained that he could be anything he wanted to be. I gave him examples of a cowboy, Buzz Lightyear etc. He sat there for almost a whole minute and then declared, "I will be a door!" Never once did he change from that. Thankfully, Mimi T is creative and she made this door for him. He wanted it to have red. She did our address and Welcome. Well, he decided that no door is complete without having your first name on it too.
Jacob asked me if I would bring Daniel to school on Halloween. We went to the K-2 elementary and the middle school. Spent a total of 4 hours at school and had so much fun. He got to go from class to class at the elementary school and show off his costume. Some of the teachers even gave him treats! He was so polite and would say "Thank you!" to everyone. My favorite though was a teacher who gave him a few pieces of loose candy corn. He took it, walked back to the bag and was going to put it back because, "I do not like these." Then I stupidly ate them. Three pieces and I paid dearly. Killer heartburn.
Daniel did a good job through the 3 classes that Jacob needed to teach. He would randomly get up sometimes and go up by Jacob, or he'd just go start playing the piano. LOL!
After that we went to the middle school and hung out in the office for awhile, where Daniel collected even more treats and convinced Kathy to let him watch "Lightening McQueen" on YouTube while he munched on Cheetos.
We stopped in the teachers lounge and saw some of the other teachers and Daniel showed off his costume and impressed them with knowing his address and my phone number.
Next was class. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I have no idea how anyone could like teaching middle school kids. Haha! I'm glad they do though. My husband loves it. He has over 80 kids in choir...in one class period!!
We finally headed home to rest before Aunt Ashley and Charleigh came over to hang out until Trunk or Treat. By that point, she and I were dreading going out. It was windy and bitterly cold. Poor Ashley forgot her coat. Thankfully I had one she could borrow...because I tried it on earlier that day and couldn't zip it up. Haha!
We got there really early, which sucked in the moment, but totally paid off in the end. We were almost 1st in line and I think it literally took us 10 minutes to get around to each trunk because there was no congestion!
The get warm dance!
Love this girl and so happy to have her in my life!

Candy collecting.
We kept our tradition of getting Wendy's afterward. Ashley and Charleigh joined us too.
All in all, a great Halloween!
