We had a great time last night. Olan was the cutest little red rooster you've ever seen! He actually seemed to sort of grasp the point of trick or treating too. We took him to three houses and then went back to Mom and Dad's. As soon as I set him down at the end of the driveway, off he headed to the house across the street that we hadn't visited. When people answered the door he held is pail out, ready to receice. It was hilarious.
If any of you have seen the setup my parents have at Halloween you'll know how awesome it is. We have a bonfire, a monster, mulled wine, scotch and very a very scary soundtrack of screams and other chilling noises. Well wasn't Olan just trying to groove out to the "music". There would be a series of screams from the CD and he would bop his head and do a little boogey move.
I was trying to teach him to say "cockadoodledoo" earlier in the day but all he could manage was "cock". I quickly changed tactics and it became all about saying boo. A one year old running around saying cock just isn't going to win him much candy :) And candy he got! Adam and I are more than happy to eat it all for him. Luckily there were some houses that were expecting babies, so he got to keep some raisins, dried fruit and playdoh.
The end of the driveway revelling got a bit out of hand as is the custom, Olan was safely in bed by that point. Maybe he'll be ready for that part next year. :)

Cutest. Rooster. Ever! Loved seeing him on his first Boo night - glad you decided to leave the "cock" out of the equation :)
