Halloween 2011

Halloween was rather "extra" this year, with bringing home a new baby only days before. We did, however, try to take a few fall pictures and carry on with some usual Halloween traditions.  Matthew actually enjoyed helping carve the Jack-o-lantern for the first time this year. He was all smiles traveling the neighborhood as Iron Man, delighting in his increasing candy colleciton.  And Nathan, who has a great fear of people wearing masks, became the saddest little Giraffe you ever did see.  He grudgingly wore his costume to a few houses, clearly not enjoying one bit of this, and became especially upset when "Iron Man" wore his mask.  Even free candy from neighbors didn't sweeten the deal for him. It's true what they say, "You can't please everyone --" even with free candy, it seems.
