Alex was a green Lego block for Halloween.
At one house we went to a 20-something guy answered the door. All the kids were allowed to grab a handful of candy out of his bowl. Since Alex's costume was a little cumbersome he was the last one to the door. As he reached in the bowl and dumped his loot into his bag the guy at the door said "dude, grab another handful, your a Lego block and that is awesome". It was said like a true Lego-maniac.
At another house a guy answered the door in costume and was playing the role of a psyco-crazy guy while handing out candy. He moved slow and spoke in a deep and gravely voice to the kids. Again Alex was the last to the door. He played his role and as he turned to close the door he yelled up to his friends in his regular voice "Dudes, there's a kid who is a green Lego here." At the window upstairs three sets of eyes appeared looking down for Alex. I told Alex to turn and wave, he did and got a cheer we couldn't hear through the closed window.
Alex was a trooper in his box. We hit an apartment complex that had stairs and it slowed him way down. He had to sidestep all the way up and then hold his box up to his chin for the climb down.
All the other kids in our group had fun and creative costumes and raked in a load of goodies. We had a good time. We even trick-or-treated Burger King where the kids got a slushie, the toy of the month, and a handful of mints. Brianna thought that it was the best part of the night.
