Tuzzy and M-Dog

We've been talking about Trick-or-Treat night in the Szajda house for what felt like months and months. Tyler has been asking "is tonight Treat-or-Treat night" all week long, so when he realized tonight really is the night he pretty much flipped out. Forget about nap time, after about 5 minutes he was yelling "Mommy, come up here I'm awake". Anyway, somehow we managed to have an early dinner and then get the costumes on around 5:30 just in time for Grammy and Baca's visit. And then we got an extra special visit from the most adorable bumble bee I've ever seen. It was priceless seeing the three of them together as innocent as they'll ever be and witnessing the excitement bursting through their bodies. We had some fun play time in the backyard for about 30 minutes while I kept taking pictures. It was a spectacular fall day with a very slight breeze and temperatures around 55-60. It was perfect. The family said our goodbyes and Tuzzy, M-Dog and I headed out to the neighborhood to do our official Trick-or-Treating. I pulled the boys in the wagon and then Tuzzy got out and did his thing. Matty was so chill in the back of the wagon having a good time watching all the excitement. There were surprisingly a lot of kids out tonight and some of which had scary costumes that took a little explaining. I held Tuzzy's hand as we walked from house to house. He'd walk up to the house, grab some candy (everyone had buckets out), and then run back to Matty and I waiting. It was so cute and so pure. He was in such a great mood and very well behaved. We came home and he was really good about making sure we read the labels and then exchanged some of his treats for safe ones. When I came back downstairs from putting M-Dog to sleep, Tuzzy was all excited to tell me he was able to pick 18 safe treats. Maybe some day we won't have to go through this ritual, but in the mean time he seemed totally okay with it and a part of his "normal". Bless his little heart and thank God tonight went as well as it did and everyone stayed healthy. Tuzzy had 3 treats on the couch before heading upstairs for bedtime. When the two of us were having our snuggle time, he said "Mommy, I'm going to dream of all the candy I got" and then asked me to make him into some skittles. Oh my goodness, it was such a sweet night for all of us.
