Trick or Treat!!

WOW! I have never been so proud of my little man. He really did put up with a lot this week and Halloween, and Mommy's excitement! The week started on Thursday at Gymboree class. They all dressed up and played in their costume. About halfway through class, Zachary's hat came off. As you can see by the picture, so did best friend Colts hat - Spider Man showed his identity!!
On Friday, I was able to convince Zachary's friend Colts mom to join us at the Baltimore Zoo for the ZooBoo. Kinda a funny story. We decided to walk to the main part of the zoo instead of taking the tram. We walked the entire zoo and saw NO activities for the kids. Finally, I had to ask someone. Turned out, all the activities were next to the tram stop - no wonder we missed it!! So, as we left the main zoo, we took the kids into the ZooBoo. Zachary was a little hesitant about walking up and saying trick or treat for the first time - however, when the first person put 6 lolly pops into his bucket - his mouth was huge, and he began to walk up to anyone (whether they were giving out candy or not) and said trick or treat!

They had all kinds of activities for the kids. Games, a hay maze, face painting, moon bounces, pumpkin picking, and of course, trick or treating. After all that fun - we sat down for lunch, the boys wanted to sit next to each other - too cute!Tonight - trick or treating. I was so proud of Zachary! He walked up to all the doors by himself, said trick or treat, thank you, and good-bye! They only thing that distracted him - dogs! He had to pet and kiss everyone that came to the door!I was amazed at how much candy he got (and a balloon animal) for just hitting 10 or so houses! Good thing he cant eat some of it - made sure we picked out our favorite too - hehe. After we finished trick or treating, we hung out, out front, with our other neighbors handing out candy. Zachary ran around, had some sugar and enjoyed saying hi to all of the kids. I truly was amazed at how well he took to this holiday. He understood exactly what to do and how to do it. Poor thing though, when I went to put his costume on tonight, he ran into the kitchen yelling no! Think he was sick of it??
