Truett decided he wanted to be a fireman this year. He had gotten a really nice fireman outfit from Gramma and PaPaw for his birthday in June, but had not really played with it much.
Well, a month or so before Halloween, he became OBSESSED with firemen. He wouldn't leave the house without the full get up on. He wore it EVERYWHERE...restaurants, my mom's house, the grocery store, the doctor. I thought I was going to have to surgically remove the thing before all was said and done.
The week of Halloween, Truett's school had a little 'Fall Fest' thing where the kids wore their costumes, played games, etc.... Guess who lost his costume the night before???? Yeah...I mean the kid LIVED in the costume for WEEKS and the night before Halloween, we couldn't find it ANYWHERE! Jay ran out to Target and found a fireman costume to do the job.

Emma, of course, was the good ol' firehouse Dalmatian
Concentrating really hard on which temporary tattoo he wanted.
We were all given freshly-spun orange cotton candy as we walked out...YUM!
We did find the costume the next day (at the bottom of Truett's laundry hamper....guess he thought it needed to be washed!).
On Halloween night, the kids trick-or-treated through my mom's neighborhood....GOOD TIMES! This was the first year Truett knew what was going on . He thought it was the COOLEST thing to knock on the neighbors' doors, ask for candy, and actually GET it!
Happy Halloween!
