Ben's First Halloween
Mood:  sad
It was a great Halloween here in Massachusetts. The weather was beautiful and it would have been perfect for walking around. We didn't. We decided to stay home and give out candy. I strategically positioned Ben by the front door so he could admire all the kiddies in their costumes. Unfortunately, everytime kids came in costumes, Ben started crying. I don't think Halloween will be one of his favorite holidays.

On another note, apparently our new neighborhood is a trick-or-treat haven. Last year, we had about 5 bags of candy and ZERO trick-or-treaters. This year, we had 3 bags of candy and what seemed to be hundreds of kids. I started to run out of candy so we threw in some fruit snacks...Shark Bites to be exact. So now we're probably known as "those people who give out gross things" on the street.

Lastly, I stratigically picked out Ben's halloween costume last year, on November 1st, a $4 clearance item. It was a pumpkin (you can see it in the pictures). Unfortunately, it was just too hot to put that on him. So he had to dress in his alternative costume. He was an Irish Man eating a Banana.
