Happy Halloween!

Halloween is sooooooooo much more fun with a three-year-old. Last year, trick-or-treating had to be cut short due to Aaron's gigantic tantrum because he didn't understand why we were knocking on people's doors but not going inside! So this year, Bill and I actually "taught" him what trick-or-treating was all about and even held a few practice runs this week as well. And he did so well tonight, especially considering he filled the Halloween candy bowl back up with his own loot after I had just finished emptying it to all our trick-or-treaters. Halloween in the new neighborhood rocks!! Here are a few pictures from our night:

Spiderman costume without the Spiderman headpiece. There was no way we were getting that thing on him.

Aaron with his pumpkin. (There was a "Daddy Pumpkin" and a "Mommy Pumpkin" too but the Mommy Pumpkin died and molded under the 80+ degree heat! So wrong!).

Daddy even dressed up! Well, at least it made it easier to find him in the dark.

Happy (belated) Halloween!! It looks like it was a fun one!

p.s. where are the other people in your neighborhood? No offense, but that looks a little creepy..

Yeah, we were pretty much the first ones to get out trick-or-treating, but the neighborhood quickly filled up.

OMG, Aaron looks great! I love his smile in that first picture!

And Bill's looks good too. What did Mommy dress up as? "Elementary School Teacher" -- AGAIN?!?

Love you AND your Halloween sweater!

Actually, funny you should ask. I copied my awesome friend Lisa and bought a headband with cat ears on it. I know! Going out of a limb! I also bought a Halloween shirt from Target - a t-shirt. Sorry, no sweater. I actually don't even know where that sweater is. I think it must have gotten "lost" in a move. Thank goodness.
