trick-or-treating three ways for bob the builder

matthew got lots of trick-or-treating in this year. the first was his preschool's fall party. he was quite unimpressed with it - he's got yet another cold - so you could just see in his eyes that he wasn't feeling the greatest.

saturday night, we went to the mall for their trick-or-treating event. that was a little better - except for the hat that he was concerned about being too big. afterwards, we went over to some friends' house where all the kids wore their costumes to play.

tonight was lots of fun! the first hour we went out and around our neighborhood. matthew did a great job of walking around and not begging to be held. he loved getting candy and looking for houses with their lights on. our neighbor was kind enough to take his gorilla mask off for the little ones. matthew wasn't quite sure what to think of his costume - or of all the others that dressed up to hand out candy - but that sure didn't deter him in accomplishing his goal.

after we came back - matthew had fun watching out for trick-or-treaters coming to our door so mark could hand out candy! he also loved his glow sticks!
