Trick or treat!

We had a fun Halloween with Liam this year. Our big excitement was carving the jack-o-lantern. I thought Liam would like playing with the inside of the pumpkin and that cleaning it out would be good goopey fun. Not so much. Liam took one look at the membrane and seeds and just said, 'bleeccchhhhh' over and over.



Once the top was off, Liam got very concerned and starting saying, 'top on!!' over and over.
Once the pumpkin was outside Liam looked at the front got very upset that there was no nose. He kept pointing and saying, 'Nase!! Nase!!'

We didn't do a costume for Liam this year since he still doesn't really 'get' Halloween. We did, however, get him a cute shirt for the day from a great new store in town. ;-) It reads 'Funny Bones'
The big highlight of the evening was lighting the candles. Liam LOVES candles and he spent nearly all night outside looking inside at them.

I did teach him about trick-or-treating. He rang the door bell. Tobias came to the door. We said, 'Trick or treat' (which for Liam sounds like 'tickerteet'). Tobias resisted his urge to say, 'TRICK' and throw a bucket of water on us and instead gave Liam chocolate. Liam learned pretty quickly that 'trick or treat' means chocolate (AKA 'Picnic).

Now, picture the scene. Lori and Liam wait in the house for trick or treaters. The door bell rings. Liam yells, 'tickerteet!' We run to the door. Lori picks up Liam in one arm and the bowl of candy in another. We open the door and Liam grabs a piece of chocolate for himself every time!!
