Trick or Treat

Halloween was so much fun this year!  This was the first time we dressed Benjamin up for Halloween.  I know...those cute baby costumes are adorable but I just couldn't see spending a dime on something that he would wear for just a picture and then we would take it off and it would never been worn again.  I know...boooo!!! 

This year we got a hand-me-down Curious George costume from a gal I work with.  Perfect!  It was in GREAT condition and Ben is in love with George at the moment. 

During the week he and Grandma go to storytime at the local libraries.  They try to hit 1-3 a week.  It's good for them to get out of the house and with some kids.  Anywho...the theme has been Halloween and the kids were encouraged to dress up in their costumes.  Ben brought his - usually wore it a few minutes and then took it off because he was too hot but it got him excited for the BIG day.  We had been practicing saying "trick or treat" and "thank you" all week.  And it TOTALLY paid off.  He did GREAT!  And loved it!!  After every house, he'd say, "trick or treat more?!?!".   Grandma was nice enough to come over and hand out candy at our house so we both could go with Ben.
