That was the last year for a long long time. Now B is into everything about halloween, and I have to say--we had a lot of fun. We carved pumpkins and made jack-o-lanterns and we dressed up and went trick or treating around our little neighborhood. And this year Benjamin is very much aware of the existence of candy in the world.
I feel the need to apologize for all of the people (mostly Amy) who inspired me with many fun costume ideas. It was fun imagining. But then it came to the day before halloween and B still didn't have a costume. Handmade was just not going to happen. So we got some more use out of his raincoat and rain boots--which he loves--and bought a fire hat and there you go. We had to spend some time explaining what a firefighter is, but he got excited after we explained it.
The first thing B did after walking out the door to go trick or treating was slip down the stairs, so we had to have a little comfort time on the swing before setting out. Rain boots are hard to walk in!
I wish we had gotten some better pictures but here he is at the next-door neighbors' house deciding whether or not he wants to verbalize trick-or-treat. Mostly he said it when no one was around to hear it.
After all that, B did well for about three or four houses on the block and then he was ready to go home. Until next year, halloween!
