trick or treat

I am a few posts behind on the blog.  

I guess the trick was on us...a gnarly stomach bug tore through our house the day of Halloween and decided to hang around for our trip to Austin (more on that later).  It started with Maddox throwing up in his crib Tuesday night and Jared coming home from work not feeling well on Wednesday (the day of Halloween).  Carson and I woke up with it on Thursday.  Poor Carson was sick for 8 days.  It was awful.  

But I'm glad Carson was able to enjoy Halloween.  He had been excited for it for about a month.  We went to our friend's house for a party and to trick-or-treat.  Jared ending up staying home with Maddox since they were both sick.  

Carson did a great job trick-or-treating.  He said "trick-or-treat" and "thank you" at each door.  Many of the houses were pretty scary for a 3 year old and he admitted that he was scared but had no fear when it came to getting his candy.  He told me "it's just pretend."

 Poor kid had to wait nearly 2 weeks to have a piece of it though.

And because every fireman has a mustache!
