Halloween, SMASH!



Ben likes Halloween almost as much as I do (it's impossible for him to like it quite as much as I do because he hasn't tasted candy yet). He loved dressing up as "green monster"/The Hulk, and was distraught every time I took his costume off. He was so fascinated by the Halloween decorations, I ended up buying double of a lot of decorations, just so he could have one (giant spider, plastic bat, etc.) to play with and one to display. He also got a huge kick out of the whole trick-or-treating process, although he doesn't understand what candy is yet).

Trick-or-treat!!!

However, I think his favorite part of the weekend was having his Uncle Matt and Aunt Sandy (& her dad) come visit. (Sadly he can now say "Uncle Matt" instead of "Unk Matt", which was much cuter.) They were in town for the last of the Dia de Los Muertos scooter rallies that Clay and his buddies are throwing, and having them in town made the weekend so much fun.

I think celebrating Christmas with my enthusiastic, wonderful little guy is just going to be awesome!
