Halloween Time

That fantastic time of year is finally here. More exciting and magical than Christmas, we wait impatiently all year for it to arrive. We put up our first Halloween ornament of the year several weeks ago and waited and waited for the stores to start stocking Halloween goodies. I must say I'm rather unimpressed this year with whats out there. It seems there was way more in the previous years. Nonetheless i'm still still holding out hope that there will be more.

This time of year brings trips to fall festivals, pumpkin patches, and I can't wait to take Khai to the corn maze. The last time we went was before Khai was conceived. After that he was just too tiny to take and then last Halloween he was sick - plus I think he would have been too young to really enjoy it. This year though...this year...

Last year we had in him a little vampire outfit. I don't know if it was because he was sick or because he just hated the outfit but it didn't work out as well as we had hoped. In fact, when I look at the pictures - him minus the cape looked like a waiter at a froo froo restaurant.

This year, he picked his own costume out and he's going to be a train conductor. Not as spooky as I had hoped, but he's very pleased with it and has been wearing his costume since August. He's ready! He tells me I will be a witch and so will Papa. We'll see.
