Curious George and ...

The man with the yellow hat, of course.  

It was so much fun to see how much Benjamin's understanding of this holiday developed in the last year.  He really seemed to understand dressing up like a monkey, knocking on doors, and getting candy at every turn this year.  It makes so much sense, right?  But what a great tradition.  

Halloween has never been my favorite holiday, but it is so much more fun with small children.  Benjamin's (self-reported) favorite part was giving out candy at our house.  I think we all had a good time, actually.  It was a beautiful night to sit on the porch and munch on swedish fish and m&ms.  Well all except for this one, of course:     

With these cheeks, you'd think both kids were keeping a stockpile of swedish fish for the next great depression:
