Halloween

Leah's first Halloween outing was a blast. Darcey and I started thinking about what costume to get months ago and decided we wanted something that Leah could wear to stay warm in case the furnace went out again this year. When we found this dinosaur outfit we knew we had struck gold.

We put Leah in her wagon and started off through the neighborhood to show her off to our friends. We met up with a group of neighbors walking with six or seven other kids dressed in as princesses, a chicken, a farmer and even a spider. All of the adults had a great time watching our kids run up and down driveways and looking at the costumes of passing children. We crossed paths with other neighbors and stopped by a couple of Halloween parties before heading home for the night.

Despite the excitement of the night Leah went to bed fairly easily. It was well after her bedtime and she of course was not on a sugar rush from eating handfuls of candy. I guess next year will be a different story all together and unfortunately for me, it will be my turn to put her to bed.
