Halloween fun and trick or treating...sort of

It seems like Halloween has lasted the whole month of October. Donovan got to wear his costume at least 4 times. On Tuesday we went to a party hosted by the Residence Life Department and Donovan had a blast. He painted pumpkins and decorated cookies with some of the soccer girls.
He did much better than I expected, I was impressed with his painting abilities. We may have to make painting one of our weekly activities.

I think he ate 2 of these cookies before I could frost them. I let the girls keep this one.
Tonight we went trick or treating at the retirement community where Scott works. The boys loved being able to run around and get treats! This is Donovan's "stem". The costume came with a cute little hat, but of course he wouldn't wear it so we improvised.One of the men had on some fun socks and Donovan had to take a good look and see what they felt like. Thankfully the man was very sweet and let him play. He thought the boys were very cute and he and his wife just kept talking to us. They were my favorite couple. The man's name was Harold but said he never liked that name so he has people call him "Cozie". His last name was Cozad or something like that.After we went trick or treating we intended to visit David and Joyce and then go around their neighborhood, but the boys decided they wanted to go inside and play with their grandkids, Chase and Henry. They both remembered that when we go to Joyce and David's house they go inside, so that is what they did.

When we got home, I had to adjust Donovan's car seat and before he went to bed he decided to play in it. It's funny how he usually screams when I try to put him in his seat, but when it isn't in the car he gets in all by himself.
We are in for another weekend without Bradley. The teams play on Sunday so he won't be home until very late Sunday night. Just a few more weeks of this!
