Trunk or Treat - October 29th

Last night - we had a Ward Activity at the Church. It was 'Trunk or Treat' A safe place for the kids to go trick or treating but instead of going to peoples houses they go from trunk to trunk. Everyone decorates their boot 'trunk' and the kids dress up. Everyone had a ball and looked great as did some of the parents. I am not into Halloween at home because it is an American Holiday but while we are here in the States it's great for Kaiden to experience. What kid doesn't want to get a tone of candy while being dressed up. Awesome. Kaiden wanted to be something scary this year as last year he was ninja. This year he wanted to scare the pants off Dad so he went for something a little more spooky. I think he looks awesome!

Some of our friends at trunk or treat . . . .

Hayley and Kealey.

I thought Kealey's trunk was the best.

The trunk on the right is Addie and Dallas' They had a big black box with three choices to try and get some candy - a hole for each choice. One was peeled grapes which felt gross, like eyeballs (cause I have felt many eyeballs in my time), the Second was slimy spaghetti and then the Third was the candy. The kids loved it. The grosser the better right!

Christopher and Kristen

Kaiden was most impressed with the Trooper, as were we all. We don't actually know the trooper, he is someones uncle. Good effort though. The kids loved him.

MacKenna Feher as Wonder Woman . . . .

Doesn't she look awesome!

Liz, Joey, Brooke and Chris Kelly

How cute do Joey and Brooke look. Love it. I think that Brooke's pea pod was the best baby costume by far. Isn't it adorable!

Michelle and Keagan Gardner

I think Michelle won the prize for the most creative costume. If you can't quite see the front on the plane is actually a spaggetti strainer and the rest of the plane is made out of cardboard and paper. Keagan is sitting in his toddler harness as the pilot. Awesome Effort Michelle!!

This is one of my favourite pictures . . . .

Kaiden loves his buddy Lica. Paul Licuria has been so nice to Kaiden that he really believes they are buddies. Lica has writen him a letter and recognises him when he's come up to say hello at training and functions. He even remembered Kaiden's bithday and asked him about it while at a Collingwood training session. For someone of his profile to give so much attention and time to a little kind and really make him feel like they are mates, is brilliant. It shows what type of man he really is. And for a mother there is nothing better than having your child feel like he really is something special.
Kaiden was devistated when I told him that Lica was retiring and wouldn't be playing for the Magpies anymore. If you think I am exaggerating, think again. He literally burst into tears and said "Why Mummy, why? He still plays really really really good" He only calmed down when I explained and said that he would still be around the club and he could see him at the VFL games. I had to promise that we would go to one of the VFL agames next time we are in Melbourne. I love that he is passionate about the Magpies. He has black and white in his blood. That makes me smile.
