So, it seems that many baby outfits naturally lend themselves towards halloween costumes -- which is great, because we were not keen on buying a special outfit for one day. By way of previous vomit incident, Eli was a blue bear for his first halloween. (Jason says I spoiled all of you by giving out an early picture in it, but ... cute enough for two posts, I guess.) I was excited to have our first Halloween with Eli, especially in our new neighborhood which has a lot of kids. We got a lot of traffic, and everyone looked adorable/scary/tremendous/otherworldly. We decided, in conjunction with our neighbors on either side, to conduct a sort of NAFTA deal -- candy equity. Chocolate was the approved currency, no one to hand out big bars, emergency loans between houses if needed, everyone saves face :) I was just letting kids pick their candy from the bucket, but Jason was controlling the process a little more -- he noticed big eyes following his hand from bag to bag to make sure everyone was getting the same kind and amount. He thought it would be funny to root around all the good stuff and hand out only almond joys ... we had a great time.

Happy Halloween everyone! (A bit late)
