Halloween 2020

Happy Halloween friends!

Cooper had his best Halloween ever.

He happily and proudly wore his costume. And the hat! I cannot believe he wore the hat people!

He willingly walked with us.

He visited four houses! And only went inside one. In his defense he knows where they keep the good paper.

He picked out exactly 7 treats and ate none. Thankfully his brothers helped him out.

He pointed to his bag to say trick or treat and signed thank you at each house.

Then he was done.

We were gone 15 minutes.

I’ve never been prouder.

After we took the other two out. And boy did they pound the pavement.

This is balance. Took us 9 years but we found it. Happy Halloween all!
