Happy Halloween! Mama took the day off work to have a day of adventure with Chase and Nanaw. The first stop was Sports Authority to get a Cardinals baseball cap for his Halloween costume. The next stop was Dollar Tree for flash cards and other fun things. Next was Papa Murphy’s for a pumpkin-shaped pizza, then Walmart and finally home for Chase’s nap. After a yummy pizza dinner, mama dressed Chase in his Chris Carpenter jersey, and Daddy put the eye-black under his eyes – very cute. Unfortunately, it was raining outside, but Mama and Daddy took an umbrella and took Chase trick or treating while Nanaw sat in the garage to hand out candy to the trick or treaters. When they came back, Mama and Nanaw took Chase out again while Daddy gave out candy. Chase wore his baseball cap and kept it on to keep the rain off his head – Nanaw held an umbrella over his head. Chase was absolutely adorable, holding Mama’s or Nanaw’s hand and going from house to house, trying to say "trick or treat" and then saying "thank you" for the candy. One house had a scary display in their garage that frightened Chase, and he started sobbing. So no more scary displays. All in all, it was a wonderful Halloween and a delightful time was had by all, in spite of the rain.
