Halloween 2009

This year Alex had two (2) costumes for Halloween. Friday at daycare the trick-or-treat activities involve a LONG walk down the corridors. Boston Scientific employees line the corridors and hand out the candy. The walk is about 1/2 mile (really - I measured it on Google Maps) and takes just under an hour. Pam borrowed a Thomas the train costume for this event:


Saturday night was a bit cooler (35F), and so we used a different costume that Pam purchase a month ago. Alex dressed up as an elephant. The costume was perfect for the conditions, and looked pretty comfortable too. He liked pretending he was spraying things with his trunk, which he knew (from reading our books) that elephants liked to do.


It took Alex a few houses to get used to the idea. Once he figured out that people were giving out free candy, he became rather enthusiastic about the idea.
