This was the first year that I got a taste of costume hunting. I have picked what Miller would be dressing up as but this year he had his heart set on Spiderman. At the third store we went to he found this really great skeleton costume that he had to have. Great. Found his size, took it home, try it on...it doesn't fit. Take it back, buy the next size up, bring it home, try it on...it doesn't fit! Take it back, no skeleton in the next size up (which is a childrens size 7-8, Miller wears a 4T) and after looking at everything several times, we finally settle on Captain Rex from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. I stripped him down in the store and made him try it on before I bought the dang thing! This was him and Darth Vader riding on the bus to go trick-or-treating at CSI with his preschool class. 
Trick-or-treating at CSI. The first stop was the dental hygiene program. They handed out toothbrushes and toothpaste (of, course!). Miller walked out of the room, looks up at me and says "You said we were getting candy!" He wasn't disappointed. The rest of the place filled their bags full of sugar. Halfway through I had to carry Miller's bag because his hands were getting tired!
Halloween night. Miller and I helped my mom make her traditional batch of doughnuts for the trick-or-treaters. One of my favorite traditions. I haven't had a Halloween yet that I didn't eat my mom's doughnuts. I dressed up this year. Big shout out to Skateland for lending me a pair of kickin' skates so I didn't have to buy any!
