Halloween!!

Halloween was so much fun this year. Cam and I dressed up as Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Hat - although nobody could figure out what we were. People would ask if he was a bear and then look at me and ask what I was supposed to be. I thought it was pretty obvious but maybe people in UT don't read to their kids! Amy dressed up as a hippy chick and looks pretty cute as a blond (although I don't prefer it - I like her just the way she is!) I think Cam had a hard time with our costumes at first. He wasn't sure what to think, especially when we got outside and there were all sorts of masked kids running around.

It didn't take long for him to figure it out though! He and his buddy, Brit went to the first couple doors together and he soon realized what was going on. It was like something clicked "I just have to knock on these doors and look cute, and these people come out and give me free candy!?!?" By the last house of the night he had it down with a complete "Tick or Teat" and signing "Thank you"

When we finally got home all he wanted to do was lay out all his candy and sort it. He loves lollipops so they would get sorted out first. I think my sister Laura put it in the best perspective: "Candy is like money to them - even more important" It's definitely true, we watched our neighbor's kids wallow in a pile of candy and even use it to barter with.

Cam was fascinated with his cauldron of Candy and could have sat playing with it for hours. He kept emptying it out on to the floor one piece at a time, separating the lollipops, and then back in the pot - one at a time.

He loves lollipops and probably would have eaten every one of them right on the spot if we let him.

If you've never seen a child "drunk" on candy - check out this picture!After this, we can't wait for Christmas. Everything is so much more fun with Camden - especially now that he grasps things better. It's amazing to see his eyes lighten up and watch how excited he gets over life's smallest adventures!

We've also discovered something else new with Camden this week. Amy and I LOVE sushi and probably go out for it more than we should. This weekend we were at the Happy Sumo and discovered that Camden loves tempura fried vegetable - but only if he can dip them in the special sauce! Check out the pic from dinner the other night. He was being such a little man. He even tried a california roll.
