moonlight jack arrives!

Ledger has been getting a little impatient lately.  He's been seeing so many people in the neighborhood start to put up their Halloween decorations and is eager to put ours up.  As you know, we can't put our decorations up until we get a visit from that beloved holiday friend Moonlight Jack. (in case that sentence didn't make any sense, read the story here)  Well, ledger is getting frustrated that Moonlight Jack seems to have visited other houses but not ours!  Maybe, he thought, he doesn't know where we live since we moved.  We assured him that he can find us wherever we are.  Well, finally one crisp afternoon, after walking home from school together, Ledger came into his room to find our beloved Moonlight Jack ready to welcome in the Halloween spirit!  Ledge was pumped!  We immediately went down to the basement to pull out the decorations and got busy filling the house with spooky cheer!  One special delivery that Moonlight Jack delivered as well was a copy of the movie 'Nightmare Before Christmas'!  We've talked with Ledge about watching this movie before but he wasn't really ready yet.  It's only rated PG, but for him last year it would have still been a little creepy.  We popped it on and he was delighted!  I don't think that he has loved a movie more in his entire life.  Immediately after watching, he wanted to play the 'sing-a-long' version of each of the songs so he could join in the fun!  We've watched it about 6 more times since then and I've got to tell ya, he's certainly in full Halloween spirit now!
