It was 5:45 p.m. on Halloween. We just got home from Jason's parents' house where we ate our yearly, delicious Halloween dinner that consists of homemade soup, homemade bread sticks, and homemade pie. Yum!!!!
Trick-or-treating was going to begin soon. Everyone was happy and ready to go.
After the picture was taken the kids went inside and messed around in the front room while waiting a few minutes for their cousins and uncles.
I sat at the computer to pay bills. (Who pays bills on Halloween night?)
Jason was in the kitchen saying to the kids, "you guys need to calm down."
Chandler put his trick-or-treat pillow case over his head and was playing with Ethan when the crime happened.
THE PERPETRATOR: Don't let him fool you, he's not as innocent as he looks...
THE WITNESSES: The Hannah Montana on the left (as opposed to the Hannah Montana in the middle and to the right).
AND the blue butterfly princess. (I don't think she looks like a butterfly.)
THE VICTIM: and maybe a bit of a provoker.
THE ACCOMPLICE: who decided ON Halloween day to put up the decorations and therefore the weapon.
THE WEAPON: A five inch man. (Why is he a Halloween decoration???)
THE ACTION:
Ethan threw the weapon at the "pillowcase" that was bugging him. The weapon happened to hit the face that was inside the pillowcase. Chandler wondered why there were beads all of a sudden in his mouth. He was horrified to discover that the "beads" were his teeth. After seeing his teeth, or lack thereof, all Chandler could say was, "WHY Ethan, WHY??!!"
THE CONSEQUENCE:
Chandler: He didn't feel up to going trick-or treating so he stayed home. This week he gets two root canals and two fillings. When he is older he'll get two crowns. (And not the crowns that most kids want.)
Ethan: NOTHING. He is two. He is the youngest. And he gets away with almost everything.
THE CONCLUSION:
The next day, though his two front teeth were partially missing and he had two exposed nerves, Chandler left at 7 a.m. for his football playoff game and later that day played in his hockey game.

What a cute post!! It was ALL JASON's FAULT--I agree, that 'weapon' does not look like a Halloween decoration. (What were you THINKING Jason?) However, with a little tinsel--you COULD put him out again for Christmas (he cuold become an every holiday tradition you know.)
So glad Chandler has recovered from such a devastating experience. We couldn't cheer him up no matter what we said or did on Holloween night. . .but now he's back to his old fun self again
GOOD FOR YOU CHANDLER.
Luy ya, Grandma and Grandpa H
Truly a scary Halloween!!! A possessed little statue, a goblin baby, and a victim who now could be a vampire with sharpened fangs.
But the scariest part of all is knowing that Jason has a great fear and apprehension for "dental sedation" which is what Chandler will likely need to fix his "fangs". Good luck Jason, it will be alright!!
Chandler---help your father through these trying times, comfort him and assure him that it's not his fault. hee hee
Those vampire fangs are awesome! I think you should leave them for next halloween.....
time to get some gold teeth. I would opt for the ones with the dollar sign or a little diamond.
Chandler is the toughest kid I know...Let the good times roll!
by far the funniest and saddest story of all Halloween stories. I had no idea you had any holiday decorations whatsoever so I was SHOCKED to see that evil Halloween elf thingy. Seriously, the person to blame is whoever gave that thing to you (or whoever decided to keep it.)
Have I mentioned how THRILLED I am that you're blogging? Really, this post just made my week. poor Chandler's teeth. Crazy how he can play all kinds of ROUGH sports and yet get his major injury from a 2 year old and a troll. Hilarious (but in a I'm kind of sorry for you too!)
What a tough kid! Cute costumes... someday the Chappell's will stop being humbugs and stay home to pass out candy to our cute neighbor kids :)
Such an awesome story Suzanne.... Chan is a super tough kid...
Same thing happened to our Davis' teeth in January. Fun times, we had to go under two times to fix it. But now he has some good bucks. We need to talk, seriously, I need some friends.
