Halloween Fun

Matty enjoyed his second Halloween and despite the cold and the cast, didn't let anything stop him from enjoying trick or treating early in the day when we went around a neighborhood close to home.


Later on we headed to a nearby town to go with our friends "The Renos" and their 2 girls (one was a shark and one was dressed as sushi! Very creative and I wish I had some pictures of them!) We went with the Renos last year and thought it would be fun to do it again...Matty had a different thought...Unfortunately he got pretty frustrated and wanted to walk up to the door and choose his candy like the other kids and due to stairs, long driveways and walkways and lots and lots of kids, he just couldn't do it comfortably...he didn't want to be held and didn't' want to go in the wagon (which we thought would be a great vehicle for him!) and ultimately ended up melting down. We had to abandon the tricks and treats and carried the screaming little monkey back to the Renos, packed up and headed home. Once we got home, Matty was pretty calm and enjoyed looking through his "loot" and tried a root beer dum dum lolipop. He didn't' eat much of it, taking after his parents who both hate root beer flavored candy.




After checking it all out, he ate some dinner and went to bed with no trouble, until he woke up at 3am and NEVER went back to sleep...and neither did we! We are thinking he is just sick and tired of the cast and is just ready to have it off! We are looking forward to that too.

Monday afternoon can't come soon enough for us and we are hoping the monkey will be as good as new!
