This year our family costume took a bit of work, but was also a lot of fun. We were dressing up as characters from the movie Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou: Clay was Ned, I was the pregnant reporter, Cubby, and Ben was the jaguar shark. Ben and I went to two different library Halloween events with friends, and then Clay, Ben, and I went trick-or-treating with a group of friends and their kids. Sadly, Ben KNOWS what candy is now; he had his first chocolate bars and first lollipop. The trick-or-treating was pretty idyllic until it started pouring rain and Clay and Ben got soaked (I'd already headed back by then). It really was an aquatic Halloween.  |
