Scary Monster

Josh and I grew up trick or treating every Halloween. So now that we have Jackson, we of course wanted to let him do the same as a child. Jackson was beyond excited to get dressed up in his "hokie uniform". We decked out his outfit with his jersey, eye black, and his nike shoes to make him look more official. We met up with Zack, Meghann, and Ryan to go around from house to house. Jackson was super pumped!





At the very first house....J wanted to go up to the door all by himself. He wanted to show baby Ryan how it was done and all. However little did we know what would meet him at the door. Two houses down from us was the house he chose to go to first and the man came out to give our sweet 2 year old candy in the most horrifying mask ever made and sold in stores! I mean lets have a little sympathy...look at my sweet boy going up all by himself just to be scared to death for the next months to come! It's a good thing Meghann and Ryan were behind him because I have never seen my child so scared...he clung to them! Even now, 2 weeks later he talks about the "scary monster" and points to the house. And people, let me put this in perspective for you, it's on our street. Doesn't really help that he can't get it out of his head. We've tried to calm down the comments with that it was just a pretend mask and he was just trying to be silly. Working so far I guess.

Despite the fright of the first house, we did still have a good time. Jackson would not go to any other house by himself. He also asked if there was a scary monstor at each house. Needless to say we only went down 2 streets.

Any good pro football player has to have a cutie-patotie rah rah with him! Duh!
