On Halloween, we took Ryan to the annual Halloween Party in the Stuy Town Oval behind our building. We were disappointed that they didn't have the corn maze this year since Ryan loved it so much last year but we still had a great time. We arrived right as the party was starting so the line for the hayride was not long and Grandma and Aunt Carrie went on with Ryan. 
He loved the ride and did not sit the whole time. While going around the oval though, he spotted tractors, I guess which were meant to replace the maze, and as soon as he got off the hayride, started running to one of the tractors. Of course, the line was very long, Ryan was not at all patient, and spent most of his turn inside making sure no other kids were near the door or trying to get in. Ryan was very disappointed when his turn was over and the only way we could get him to stop crying was to take him to the candy - that is what Halloween is all about anyway, right? Even though you were supposed to wait for the vendor to put the candy in your basket, Ryan had his own ideas.
Since he hadn't eaten dinner yet, we really didn't want him to eat too much candy so we told him he could pick one out and we would save the rest for later. What did he choose? A Blue Air Head Taffy Bar, which in my eyes was the grossest thing he got. He loved it though and while I ate all of his sour patch kids, he drooled blue taffy all over his costume and ran around screaming.
After Halloween, Ryan wanted to eat candy every day, all day long so we told him that he could only have one if he finished all of his lunch and dinner. He quickly learned, much to my dismay, that Reese's peanut butter cups and kit kats are much better than taffy and when he finally lost interest in his pumpkin basket, the only candy left was the taffy. Smart kid. I think that this was the last year that I will be able to choose Ryan's costume and I can't wait to see what he will want to be next year!
