I've got a dragon at my front door!

You were looking forward to wearing your dragon costume that I got you a while ago so when today finally arrived you were beyond excited. You usually cry when I drop you off at daycare, but this time you went in without a hitch. This was because you were wearing your dragon costume. After I dropped you off I took your Vancouver grandparents to Galleria at York Mills and Don Mills. Your Vancouver grandma loved it the first time I took her last week so she wanted grandpa to see it. 

You grandma bought a pack of dried bananas the last time she was here and she loved it
so she wanted to buy a few packs for her friends in Vancouver. 

She also bought a 10lb bag of Ontario garlic. They are in season right now. However, they
are soooooo expensive! The 10lb bag was $50!

They were going around looking at everything and saying how well organized everything was.
I'm quite surprised because your Vancouver grandpa always used to complain that Toronto
wasn't as great as Vancouver whenever he was here, but this time around I think he was
quite impressed. He actually loved Galleria. Also on the way there I drove them around the
Bridle Path and they were quite amazed how grand the houses were there. He even commented
how he was beginning to like Toronto more and more ;-)

One of the features of Galleria that your Vancouver grandma loved was the food court.
There is a salad bar that prices food by weight and then there is an open area in the middle
of the food court where you can see the cooks making all the foods. She loved the freshly-made
steamed buns. I did too.

Baby Kendall is always sleeping when I put her in the Bjorn. What a good girl she is.

After Galleria I picked you up from daycare and they gave you a big bag of candies to take home with you.

You recently started doing this jjing jjing face (grumpy face) whenever you aren't happy.
I really don't like it when you do that so I told you, "Aidan, no jjing jjing face. Do happy face"
and I showed you to open your eyes really wide and smile. That's what I'm getting you to do
when I took this picture.

I took a video of you making mad face vs. a happy face. Either way you look so cute.

Happy to finally go home.

When we got home you opened your big bag of goodies. You are not a big candy person. Actually I think you only had 1 piece of chocolate (only last week) in your life. So when you saw all these colourful candies in your bag you were so curious. I took a video of you having your first bite of Smarties. Watch your reaction:

After eating a few Smarties you were on a sugar high! What have I done?!

When you got home you held onto your Halloween treat bag from daycare so tightly while
watching your show.

Just before you went out to go trick or treating I took a few photos of you. So did your grandparents.

Around 6:30pm we got you all dressed and I took you trick or treating with your grandpa.
The weather has been terrible lately because of Hurricane Sandy. It's been raining all week,
but that didn't stop us from going trick or treating.

Here you are just after getting some candy. I kept asking you if you wanted to go home because the weather was so bad, but you kept saying you wanted to go to more houses.

You were quite the trick or treater. You kept chanting, "Trick or treat" the whole time we were
walking. I think from getting you to remember the lines when you got to the front door of
someone's house.

You were so proud of your treasures.
