Halloween Fun

A few photos of our Halloween fun--it was Simon's first time carving pumpkins, and second time trick-or-treating.

We decided to tackle his--the biggest--pumpkin first.

He made an excellent "pumpkin goo scooper"

Grandma and Grandpa, and Uncle Peter, came down from Red Wing

We gave Simon the option of getting a different costume this year, but he declined--he wanted to be a bumblebee again. Here he is with our jack-o-lanterns (one for each of us, clockwise: Simon's, Theodore's, Daddy's, and Mommy's), ready to head out trick-or-treating.

The plan was to bring Theodore out too, in his little skeleton sleeper costume, but he has been sick and he zonked out just as Simon was about ready to head out.

Simon enjoyed trick-or-treating last year, but was rather timid and unsure of the whole thing. This year he LOVED it. He did a great job of saying "trick or treat!," of helping us find the houses with lights on, and at times even said "thank you."

Once we were done trick or treating, Simon also loved handing out candy to trick-or-treaters. All in all it was a success!
