Halloween this year was quite the success. In past years Will has flat out refused to get involved with dressing up, so when he took an interest in his costume this year we were pretty excited for him. He was a Dragon and Henry was...well, in some Halloween pajamas with a weird pumpkin beret my mother put on him. Will went Trick-or-treating at exactly 3 houses...and frankly he was done at 2. I made a tactical error in picking our first house. I thought, ooh cool, decorations. We did decorating, he will like that. However, the decorations were a little more PG/PG-13 then a four-year-old can really handle. Lots of screaming sounds and chainsaw sounds and fake blood...yeah, that didn't go over really well for my shy dragon. But he loved giving out the candy, so ended up having a good night after all.
My mom also brought a NASA jumpsuit costume for Will that she brought out the day after Halloween with a bunch of other dress up clothes. While he did really, really like the Dragon...the orange jumpsuit has barely come off for two days. He thinks it looks like Luke
Skywalker's fighter suit from Empire strikes back and refuses to let us call it a costume.
Here are the boys prior to Trick-or treating:
Henry, getting his first taste of sugar (I was in the other room):
And Will (at the carousel) as Jedi fighter pilot extraordinaire:

They are such cute little guys! I'm not going to sweat Henry's first taste of sugar too much. The other day I walked into a client meeting and my client was feeding his 2-MONTH-old a Snickers bar. I shudder to think what her Halloween was like...
Why does Dan look more excited than Henry?
