Halloween is getting fun again

Halloween is a complicated holiday. Regardless of your age, Thanksgiving is always great (days off school, great food, family) and Christmas is awesome (presents, vacation). Halloween, however, is variable. It is the best when you are a kid - the costumes, the candy, the trick or treating. Then as you move into high school, Halloween kind of loses its luster. Then college comes along, and Halloween is back to being awesome again. Then as you move into adulthood, Halloween becomes less and less fun - sure there is candy, but you have to give it away.

Now, Halloween is looking up again! It is basically an excuse for Mom and Dad to make our small child look adorable and/or ridiculous (but mostly ridiculous). While Connor really had no idea what was going on, he LOVED Halloween! Well, more like he loved the attention that he got when he was wearing a costume. Every time we went out to do something, whether to the grocery store, the farmer's market, or to friend's house for a party, Connor was sporting a different costume. And he was working it!



Overall we had three costumes: a skeleton, a pumpkin, and our favorite, the devil. He is sporting his little devil costume below. We had little horns for him, but they lasted about 3 seconds on his head before he yanked them off. Strangely enough, not too many costumes out there for baby devils - so Mom and I got pretty creative. But this is the costume that most closely reflects his personality.



Our friends invited us over to their neighborhood Halloween party. Connor had a blast. He is so interested in people and other little kids that he was entranced the whole time he was there. He loved getting fawned over, and had a great time seeing other people and one very cute puppy. He also discovered how awesome it was to walk places, so Mom and I spent the whole time there careening (Connor doesn't do slow and cautious) from place to place. Overall a fun weekend!


Loving walking around at the Halloween party!
