Throwback Thursday!

Thankfully, the 50mph winds and driving rain haven't ruined our evening.  When you live in the forest, you don't have many little ghouls or goblins ringing the doorbell for tricks or treats.

This is the first year that Will hasn't gone trick or treating though.  While I would like to say it's because he's finally determined that at 6'3 he's outgrown it, that's not the case.  He simply didn't want to get wet and was a little more than irritated that I wouldn't let him spend $60+ dollars on an Iron Man morphsuit.  If you haven't seen one, you should google it.  And yes, I do admit, the suit would have been good for a laugh.

But anyway, it got me to thinking of his first years trick or treating.  I was thankful for Hunter every single day, but a little more so every Halloween.  Since he'd walk up to a stranger anytime, Halloween was just a day he'd get rewarded for it.  Will on the other hand, would hang at the edge of the driveway until Hunter grabbed him by the hand and dragged him to the door.  And that was the scene at every house.  For hours.  Until we reached the "scary" house with the lights, the cobwebs and the garage turned Haunted House.  That's where Will would put his foot down and we'd turn around.

Today, Will would not only go through the Haunted House, he'd jump out to scare others.  He's a FearFest junkie and prefers horror movies over all others.  My, how times change.

In honor of Throwback Thursday and Halloween, these are some of my favorites of the boys.  Happy Halloween Everyone!  Stay safe, stay dry and don't eat too much of the kids candy!
