We had a fun little get together at our house for Finn's first Halloween and Cael's first Trick-or-Treat outing.
Ryan cooked enough appetizers to feed a small nation, but they were awesome, so I'm not complaining about all the leftovers.
Ele-Finn stayed home and helped man the door with Ryder and the rest of the gang while Ryan, Cael and I hit the pavement.
Cael quickly figured out that if he went up to a door he'd come away with candy, and he was pretty sure that was the best thing ever. As soon as the basket of candy was offered, he shoved his little fists in there and just started emptying everything into his bucket. He tried to clean out every house we came to.
He was so enthusiastic about the process that he couldn't even find the patience to wait for people to come to the door. Instead, Ryan would ring the bell and then Cael would reach for the handle and start trying to bust in on his own. When we told him that wasn't okay he resorted to shouting, "Open the door! Open the door!"
I'm assuming when he gets to be eleven or so that'll stop being cute. Hopefully, that habit will break.
And no, we're not sure if he's a dinosaur or a dragon, but both of them say, "GRRR!" so it worked out all right.
