Halloween

Jayden dressed up at a transportation maintenance specialist, aka road flagger, for Halloween. He told me he wasn't even embarrassed this year cause it was cool and manly. He is still scarred from his costume two years ago, Napoleon Dynamite. This costume was really easy to put together. He found Trinity's vest that she uses for work sometimes and we had our idea. He wore my work boots, his jeans, we got him a flannel shirt, borrowed the hard hat from a friend and purchased the stop/slow sign online. Done.

The kids get to dress up for a parade around the school and parents get to watch from the gym. He looked so cool and grown up.

Jayden spotted Pappa in the crowd and they were waiving to each other.

This is his class...check out Nikki, the Diva Devil.
After school, he came back to work with me. The office is so fun on halloween cause we get so many kids who trick or treat there. Jayden left with several bags of candy.

When we got home, Jayden and some other neighborhood kids were trying to see how many cars they could get to stop or slow down. It was pretty funny. Many drivers played along and possibly a few were fooled. It was really funny when he held up the slow sign and were waving people by.

In the evening we went trick or treating with friends. Anthony (Darth Vader), Carlos (a thingy with bones, as he called it), and Carmen (she's just cute). We went to the neighborhood around school and they got TONS of candy.

Drive by trick or treating

The next morning, Jayden sorted his candy into piles and then picked out a bowl full of his favorites. The rest he sold to a local dentist who purchased kids' halloween candy for $2 a pound and sent it all to the troops. Jayden earned $25.50!
