Nothin' like a cute fireman..

For Halloween this year Nick dressed up as a fireman. His class had a field trip to a firehouse this past June and ever since then Nick has shown an interest in anything that has to do with firetrucks and all things associated with being a fireman. When we drive by that particular fire station that we visited with his class he'll often wave at it as well. Funny thing - when his daddy was young he was a major pyromaniac and his son is the opposite. I can't even light a candle without Nick trying to blow it out! Maybe we have a future firefighter on our hands here, who knows..

I just love this picture of Nick and the fireman he met at the field trip this past June.



Here's my very own cute fireman:








This was really the first year he was totally into trick-or-treating. He enjoyed himself quite a bit last year but was the first year that he displayed a great sense of excitement and anticipation for the holiday. He had such a good time going that on the next night he gathered up his entire costume and brought it to me, saying "please" and indicating that he wanted to go again. I had to explain to him that Halloween only comes once a year and that it will be long time before he can put on another costume and go out and knock on doors. I love that he had such a good time that he wanted to go so soon. That kind of excitement on his part always brings a smile to my face :)
