Dinosaur Halloween

This year, both boys dressed up as dinosaurs for Halloween. The idea of the costume was super exciting for the pre-Halloween neighborhood party the weekend prior, however, the costume was less desirable the day of Halloween. For some reason, Hugh did not want anything to do with dressing up and/or going out for candy. Prior to going outside and handing out candy, Hugh was cracking us up. After the minor costume tantrum, he started wheeling his suitcase into the laundry room to go outside. We asked him what he was doing and he said "I need to go to Boston". (Mommy had just returned from her business trip to Boston a few days ago). We asked him why he needed to go to Boston. "I need to go to the store." What do you need at the store? "I need to buy some jelly beans." Sounds like an expensive trip for jelly beans, but humorous nonetheless. About 7:15pm, we finally coaxed him to walk to some of the neighbors houses costumeless (costume was over mommy's shoulder) to trick or treat for candy. He did and loved it!! Finally, he put on the costume and walked around the two streets adjacent to our house. He was running house to house. In between the running, he would roll in the neighbors yards ?? Not sure why, but he would run, then roll, then run to get the candy, then roll back down their yards. Weird, but very funny!! He also enjoyed staring at the talking 5ft witch at one of our neighbors. He would have stood there all night if we let him:)
