I had ordered Isaac a Spiderman costume in early October and he had seen it when it came in the mail. That was a big mistake. He ended up wearing it around the house all that night and even wore it to bed. He wore the mask too and I went in his room later in the night to take it off so he wouldn't get so hot. He ended up waking up and coming into our room in the early morning (2 or 3 am) insisting on having his mask. I admit it, I lied to my child and told him I had to send it back and the mailman would bring a new one. I think the boy asked me numerous times a day until I finally gave it to him on Halloween. Wow. Then after Halloween he wore it constantly. He talked about Halloween every day the following week. I made another mistake and told him that maybe next year Caleb could be Spiderman and he could be something else like Batman. So Isaac then got it in his head that the Mailman was bringing his Batman costume soon. He still asks me about once a week when his costume is coming. Oh boy does he get fixated on things. That's a toddler for you.
Caleb went as Baby Bear and was quite adorable. Pretty sure that's the last year I'll get him to wear anything "cute". On Halloween Ross was still in the field so Grandma Kooiker and I walked with the boys through the Halloween parade and boy did they get a load of candy. After that we went to George and went to a dozen houses or so. They hit the jackpot. Isaac was so excited running from one house to the next.
It's so hard to believe October is already over. It's going to be Christmas before we know it.
