This year Tate told me that he wanted to be a scuba diver. After finding nothing pre-made I tried talking him into all sorts of other things but he was adamant he wanted to be a scuba diver. I got some ideas from a Parents magazine and this is what I came up with. The first night we tried it on him he immediately started pretending to swim around the house and jumping off furniture "into the water".
Halloween evening in our new neighborhood was so much fun! We had about 150 Trick-or-Treaters, more than the ZERO we had in Ballard. The three of us stopped by a few neighbors early then I headed home to answer the door and Todd took Tate up the street where Todd heard from co-workers is the place to be...and it sounds like it was. Houses with lines of kids waiting, people don't even close their doors, they just sit on the front porches and hand out the candy, multiple houses with walk-through haunted houses, multiple kids with hot chocolate stands and there was even a tractor giving hay rides!! Tate did great, said "Trick or Treat" with a huge grin at every door and had the best time. We can not wait for next year!!
We bought this bike at a garage sale this summer for $15. For the past few months he has had zero interest in riding it but last Saturday he walked into the garage and stated, "I want to ride my bike today"...and so he did...all weekend! We've got lots of practicing to do but he's getting the hang of it and having fun!
