More like Trick or Trick in our case seeing as we never made it out to get the treats. Halloween 2013 has been one for the history books and one that we will look back on in 10 years with a laugh. Our little buddy is going through that phase in childhood known as "terrible two's" but the word "terrible" doesn't really do it justice. Life has been rough in the Mangiaracina household these days, but we are doing our best to get through it. The ample bottles of Dogfish Head Black & Blue beer helps too. But I digress...
For us, Halloween started on October 30th with a party at Willowcreek Academy. All of the parents were invited to join the kids for a costume party at the school and boy was it festive! I had been in New York the days prior so when James saw me arrive, he was the happiest kid in the room. The unfortunate part of this was that he did not want to let go of me making his participation in the party a little tricky. Luckily the view of cookies and cupcakes helped.
He was a happy guy...
... until Mommy walked away to take a picture.
He did pull it together long enough for us to get 1 photo with him wearing his Clark Kent glasses. Look really, really close and you will be able to see it!
The end result of the party was an extreme sugar high followed by an epic sugar crash when we got home. It wasn't pretty, but lucky for us, bedtime was right around the corner.
Halloween brought about a new day that started with a James/Mommy photo shoot before school...
... and ended in tears.
Our little Clark Kent was just not in the Halloween mood - too many ghosts and goblins in the night I guess. And once it started raining, we decided to call it. We did manage to get a few photos in before the meltdown of all meltdowns commenced.
Aww well...there will be plenty more Halloween's in our future. Hopefully our little Superman won't be taken down by kryptonite next year and
Daddy he can get some candy!
