Sunday was the Lincolnville Farmers Market. We all dressed up again and John got to trick-or-treat at the market stalls. The highlight of the day was when he met another Buzz Lightyear- it was truly a face off! I like our Buzz wings better :)
Monday was Halloween and there was a class party at school. He mixed it up a little and dressed as NASA-Buzz, in his orange NASA jumpsuit with his Buzz Lightyear belt and wings. It also happened to be one of John's classmates birthday so in addition to the Halloween festivities his class had pizza and cupcakes! We are so lucky to have a very active parent group in school, I think we had the best class party there, I mean, who could compete with freeze dance to 'Thriller' and 'Monster Mash'?!?
Monday night it was time to Trick-or-Treat in the neighborhood. After dinner John got dressed up yet again and he and Jeff went out walking. Lily and I stayed home and handed out candy, she had a blast dumping out the basket of candy and playing with it. John and Jeff were gone for hours, they met up with one of John's friends Reef and his parents and the boys had a great time trick-or-Treating together!
At some point during all of the hoopla John said to us "Halloween sure does last a long time" I think he was getting a little worn out with all the activity. He ended up with a ton of candy, most of which he doesn't eat (John doesn't like most candy, lucky us!) so the 'Candy Fairy' made a visit to our house. You see, you can trade candy in and get a toy, book, game etc. John decided this sounded like a good deal (he was pretty sure he'd get another lego Buzz) so he traded. He didn't get Lego Buzz, but he did get a Solar System mobile to hang in his room. We put together all of the planets and followed the directions on how to hang them around the sun. We have yet to paint them, we are waiting for a quiet day while Lily is napping, but it is hanging in his room and we have done a lot of talking about the planets. When asked, he now says he is going to be an Astronaut when he grows up. In fact, the other day he said to me "Its about time for me to get to the Moon." I don't think I'm quite ready for that!

A fun filled family time! We liked that the Candy Fairy visited your home and getting the mobile must have been a treat. Learning about the solar system is knowledge that will stay for years to come. We were so hoping to get Halloween pictures! THANKS Lily certainly looked happy with the basket of treasures she kept tipping onto the floor.
Grandma, again, It warms my heart and makes me smile seeing such Happy grandchildren! Often, late at night, I sit at the computer looking at all the pictures.
