Halloween

This was Connor's first real trick or treating experience and boy was it fun! You could sign up in our building if you wanted to give out candy. That morning we picked up a listing of all the apartments to hit. Connor was in hog heaven (literally). I rarely give him candy (homeboy has enough energy as it is- I don't need him running around on a sugar high on top of that) so when he realized that he got candy every time he knocked on a door- well it just blew his mind! What was shocking to me was how into it everyone in our building got (except me- I didn't know!). Almost everyone handing out candy dressed up and many turned their apts into haunted houses or just went all out with the decorations. Some of the scary costumes didn't phase Connor (like this one, he just strolled right in and put his hand out for some candy):

Other times (like when a whole family was dressed like the band KISS) he ran screaming down the hall. This didn't deter him from knocking, he would just brace himself that there might be a really scary monster standing there when the door opened. But anything for candy!!


We stayed out for about an hour and afterwards came home to hand out candy which Connor almost equally enjoyed. He would race to the door when there was a knock. Then he would help me hand out the candy- although he would take a piece of candy from our bowl every time and put it in his own basket. Little rascal.

Happy (Belated) Halloween!!
