This year, we did Halloween on a slightly larger scale. Unlike last year, when Piglet was too scared of all the strangers and the weird costumes to even venture out of the house, this year, a Spiderman costume and the promise of candy had him embarking on his first trick-or-treating adventure. He almost backed out at the last minute, but we managed to coax him to come out and the two of us walked companionably trick-or-treating and eating chocolates along the way.
He still got a little scared (as our roads are very dark), and some people’s costumes (including Snubnose) were pretty over-the-top scary.
Snubnose pretty much recycled last year’s witch costume, but with an addition of a grey wig, prosthetic nose, and scary limbs to add a little more drama. She went trick-or-treating with her friends and had a total blast.
Fun times!
Poor little Piglet! But he’s getting braver — maybe next year will be the year he’s really able to enjoy it!
@readingtheend:disqus I think he will be totally game next time around. He was pretty tickled at getting soo much candy. He’s already asking when next we”ll celebrate Halloweeen 🙂
Halloween is the best kids’ holiday, isn’t it? Like your banner/masthead at the top. Did you do the illustrations?
@disqus_iWSDX0bzJT:disqus Oh, yes, it’s probably their favorite one :). I didn’t do the banner and illustrations. An artist called Julianna Swaney did this for me. She specializes in these whimsical kind of drawings, and I loved her art work so much I asked her to create this header. Check out her website: http://www.juliannaswaney.com/
They re so cute! I took our little one to a Halloween event which was really quite scary but I loved 😉 We had no trick or treaters which surprised me.. but then again I’ve learnt that in our area no pumpkin means no trick or treaters, so next year I’ll be sure to put one out!
Hope the kids had lots of fun!

@roth0003:disqus Oh yes, they had a blast. They now have enough candy to last them through till the end of the year, I hope!
