My Halloween Treat       

I got a Halloween treat this year that was better than candy.  As Austin climbs up in age, he is naturally becoming more independent from me and wants less and less to do with “kiddie” things that he deems are beneath his age and coolness.  He has not been trick-or-treating since third grade.  But…this year, after consulting with some of his friends (of course), he determined that trick or treating was appropriate for one more year.  But, he assured me that this would be the last year (much to my dismay).  So, we looked online and debated about costumes for what seemed like forever and finally concluded that a zombie hunter was still sort of gruesome, but mom friendly enough.  Those of you who know me, know that I despise all things scary and therefore will not allow any costumes that will creep me out.  I tried my hardest to get him to do a funny costume, like Mario or Steve from Minecraft, but my attempts were to no avail.  Oh well, at least I get a couple of pictures to remember his very last year of trick or treating.  (Except that he isn’t going with me so I only get pictures before he goes to his friends house).
