Cowboy Star

Happy Belated Halloween...

Oct. 30, 2007

This year Darren was a cowboy...it was a little special and a little sentimental for Darren's Na-Na & Papa Mike. You see the fringe leather vest Darren is wearing was one of the vests Darren (Uncle Darren) & Zak (Daddy) wore when they were youngsters. Mary Sue brought two leather vests & a cowboy coat to us when we were living in Tyler. I thought it would be nice for Darren to dress up in his daddy's & uncle's dress up clothes.

When we first put the clothes on Darren, he was very forceful on NOT wearing the clothing...finally he warmed up and actually wore the hat. It only took him about 3 hours to get comfortable in his costume. He'll do just about anything for his teacher MiMi & Ms. Alicia.

The school had a little parade walking across the parking lot to the bank to trick or treat...sounded like the tellers enjoyed seeing the little tykes dressed up.

Darren, Ms. Cassie, & I went to a retirement center with the Mom's Group of Tyler. Darren wasn't to keen on walking around unfamiliar grounds and seeing others dressed up. However, he didn't have a problem ask/getting candy from the residence. At the end D. finally warmed up.

Cowboy D...he was a good looking boy!!

Darren did not go door to door and trick or treat this year...he helped Ms. Cassie and I pass out candy. Next year when he has a better understanding we'll either go to a little carnival or actually do the door to door trick or treating.
