Halloween!

We played out in the leaves for a bit the other day. Drew wore his Ben Chappell jersey and did his IU cheer a couple times. He likes to say "I-U" and then a couple seconds later "go pack!" We've confused him!

Then all playing had to stop so we could watch the garbage truck pick up our trash!

We went to a neighbor's house and met up with Drew's buddies for some Trick-or-treating. Here they are getting ready to head out (Meena the devil, Kayla the pumpkin and Drew the monkey).

Drew always had to carry a piece of candy in one hand and his pumpkin in the other. Here he is getting ready to head up to someone's house.

Here he is walking around the neighborhood like he's a pro at this trick-or-treating business now! He wouldn't say anything when people answered their door, but he always said "thank you" when they dropped stuff in his pumpkin.

It was pretty hot (around 70 degrees) and humid, and when we pulled Drew's hood off, his hair was soaked! But fortunately, it started to rain on us and felt great! We ran to our friend's garage b/c it started really coming down. We also took that opportunity to change Drew into his backup costume so he could cool off! Here he is taking a break in the wagon with a cold drink.

And then we braved the misty rain and headed out for some more candy! Our neighborhood was packed, despite the rain.

We got home around 8:30 and Drew had to bust into his candy! Luckily his favorite (and really the only candy he knows) is suckers! (I dug all the chocolate things out so he wouldn't even notice they were gone).

We only had one group of Trick-or-Treaters show up at our door, but luckily it was a large group so we were able to get rid of quite a bit of our candy. After that group left, the rain picked back up and I think everyone was done. I'm pretty sure Drew had a great time - and the hour and a half of Trick-or-Treating wore him out enough to keep him on schedule despite the time change!
