Halloween

















It was a happy Halloween for Hogan. Festivities started at his school with a costume parade, games, and snacks. Next we went to the Fall Festival at my school (where Hogan experimented with green hair!).
And finally it was time to trick or treat. Hogan had waited all day to trick or treat. If we'd left it up to him he would have started ringing doorbells at 8 in the morning! Oma and Opa joined us for our first trick or treating in our new neighborhood. It was fun to have them there for our inaugural trick or treat!
Most surprising to me was that Hogan's favorite part was opening the door for all the trick or treaters that came to our house. As soon as the doorbell rang he ran to the door to pass out candy. He even had a little system about how he would pass it out. If only one or two kids came to the door they could have several pieces of candy, but if a whole line of kids came, only one per person. After several doorbells in a row, Hogan wiped his sweat and said, "Boy I sure am working hard here aren't I?" So fun to have a real house with a doorbell and trick-or-treaters stopping by!
