Halloween with Jackson has been really interesting. Like I mentioned before he LOVES everything about Halloween, and I know he's going to be so sad when the pumpkins and decorations come down. The costume part however was a different story.
Iowa does Trick or Treating the night before Halloween....I know, it's dumb....so on Thursday we started to get read to TorT around 6:30. I asked Jackson if he wanted to wear the puppy costume for Halloween and he said "No thanks Momma". I tried to talk it up but he wasn't going to budge. So Grammy Karen had given him a race car driver jumpsuit a few months back and I decided to ask him if he wanted to be a race car driver and he was excited about it.
So we got him ready and headed out to TorT. He LOOOVED seeing all the costumes, decorations and pumpkins but did NOT want to go up to the houses. I tried to explain to him that we go up and get treats but wanted nothing to do with that. I told Mark that Jackson simply couldn't be my son since he was turning down FREE CHOCOLATE!!!!. We went to a total of about 4 hours, including one of his buddies' houses, and got about 6 pieces of candy. TOTALLY WEAK! LOL I know I was the only one disappointed because Jackson could not have cared less about the treats, which is ODD for him. Last year he went door to door with no problem. It will be interesting to see how it goes next year.
We told everyone that Jackson was Ricky Bobby from "Talladega Nights". We got lots of laughs from that. Although Jackson would say "No I'm Jackson Hogge" every time we'd say he was Ricky Bobby. :)
