Halloween: √

Halloween was a success.  Trick or treating at the zoo: √  Trick or treating at the mall: √ Trick or treating in the neighborhood: √  Kate had a great time.  This was the first year she was really into it.  She fell only 3 times, filled her bag with far too much candy, and requested to go to bed at the end of the night.

Aidan wasn't as enthusiastic as she was.  He slept, stared at all the kids, and generally had the look of boredom combined with a why on earth am I wearing this dumb outfit look on his face all night.  Everyone kept calling him a bear and I'll admit if you didn't see the tail (he was sitting on it) or his feet (he kept trying to eat them) he actually did look like a bear.  He was cute but none of the pictures turned out that well.  There's always too much stress on holidays to try and capture the perfect pictures, that they always seem to end up looking forced, out of focus from the rush, and in general kind of blah.  I don't do well under pressure.

The weather was also a little un-Halloweenish.  Yes I made that word up and it totally freaked out the spell check.   Mid-seventies is not really the best weather for a baby wearing a big furry suit.  We also discovered we live 1 street off the highly desired trick or treating area and ended up not having all that many kids.  I think we missed a lot while we were gone though.  So here you go... Pics of the night!
