Happy Halloween!

I kind of consider this to be Tyler’s first Halloween since he was just getting home from the Children’s Hospital last year at this time. So we wanted this year to be special. The fun started yesterday with a parade and party at Tyler’s day care. This was the debut for Tyler’s costume—he was a pirate! ARR!

We carved our pumpkin this afternoon. I chose a design that had very few cuts so we could try to maintain Tyler’s attention throughout the process but he was done by the time we gutted the thing. So I basically carved the pumpkin by myself. It was still very fun though! Then we put Tyler’s Pirate Pumpkin Head together.

We headed out for trick-or-treating while it was still light (and somewhat warm) out. I don’t know if it was because people were out with their own kids or they just didn’t have candy but we weren’t very lucky. We stopped at about 10 houses and only 3 answered. Tyler still had fun showing off his costume and towards the end he was babbling something like “Trick or Treat”!

And know what every one's been waiting for.....
