happy halloween!

I haven't been this excited about Halloween in a very long time.  When I lived in Detroit it was almost stressful because it didn't matter how many ginormous bags of candy I bought at Costco, I was going to run out.  Also, leaving my house pretty much open for several hours at night was a little unsettling.  I mean, kids in costumes.  You just never know.  They might ask for candy or something.  I know, I'm an asshole. 

Henry must have also been excited about Halloween because he actually took an afternoon nap when I wanted him to so he would be awake for trick-or-treating.  It was a Halloween miracle!

Here we are practicing trick-or-treating.  We don't get very many trick-or-treaters, hence the full size candy bars.  I know he looks annoyed but it's just because he is so advanced that he didn't need to practice and just wanted to hit the road. 

We had a great time and got to see lots of the neighbors and kids and it was a perfect night for trick-or-treating.

This is Henry saying, "Really, mom?  Gluten free cheese crackers?" as he was checking out his loot.  I guess those are the 2011 version of the popcorn balls of my childhood.  Henry is already starting to learn life's difficult lessons.
