We had a lot of fun celebrating Halloween this year! Both Friday and Saturday nights we attended parties where costumes were encouraged. Since I'd gotten Joel's dinosaur costume a couple months ago, we looked for something that we could be as a family. This is what we came up with:
It was fun dressing up, and we won the costume contest both nights! Today we carved our pumpkin, which Joel did not enjoy. As soon as the insides of the pumpkin started coming out, Joel started crying and saying shy. Apparently he was scared of the pumpkin insides. He was also running on no nap, so that could have been part of it. Thankfully he enjoyed the rest of the day a lot more.
We stopped by my brother-in-laws first.
Happy Halloween, everyone!

Then we went to my parents for a little trick-or-treating. We only went to about three houses since my parent's neighborhood is pretty spread out, and we weren't too keen on the idea of lots of candy. Joel definitely figured out that these treats in his pumpkin were something good and kept asking for a bite. We compromised with some sm@rties. :)
Joel stopped to play in the leaves along the way.
