for halloween this year trey has decided to give it a go at being spiderman which is bitter sweet. when he was 2 he was an unhappy/scared/etc bob the builder ... unhappy that is until literally the first candy hit the bottom of his little treat bag. last year he was samari jack which i really enjoyed as that is an ultra cool cartoon we enjoy watching together, shouting out "aaaakkkkkkkoooooo" (sp) and the like. this year, it's spiderman. not sure where this idea has come from as i don't watch spiderman cartoons with him. regardless, spiderman is cool so off we go.

so, we're out shopping for a spiderman costume and we find several choices as evidently spiderman is the hot costume this year. trey picks out one with a full hood and all, with only two little eye holes to see through. he tries it on for size and i must admit that i was a bit taken aback initially staring down at a little spiderman, in full garb, where my little smiling boy stood only moments ago ... that is until i saw his smiling eyes beyind the mask. ok, we get home and he has to put on the costume again before heading to bed and this is where the fun begins. he literally became spiderman, shooting little imaginary spider webs about the house and propelling himself with said webs onto the bed, down the hall and into our arms. it was pretty amazing to watch and i smile each time i recall the last evenings activities.

life is good!
