Dino Invasion 2009!

This was Landis's first year doing real Trick or Treat! I was so excited that he had learned to walk soon enough to get good at it by the time Halloween came! He had a lot of fun just roaming around in his costume. He didn't much care for the candy, or know what to do at first, but we got him into it. Mostly, though... he just wanted to walk around. We went to our Base Exchange for the whole ordeal, for a couple of reasons. For one, it started earlier, and, not that Landis is on a strict evening schedule, it just always seems to work out that from dinner time on, he isn't good for much of anything outside of the house. And two, we wanted to finally be at home to hand out candy for the first time since we've lived out here. We decorated the house, so we wanted to make good use of it all. I did take Landis to one house on our street, but, since he just wanted to roam around, it took him 15 minutes to go two houses down and come back to the house. So, after that we just let him wander around the front yard until he got tired. It was fun, and now I'm excited for next year. Surely he'll have more focus by then and get the point a little better.



Good Morning, Halloween :o)






He needed a hair cut again!






His Halloween shirt! It's got a monster eating a chocolate bar and it says, "Chocolate Goooooooood!"







Walking with Daddy to the BX for Trick or Treating






I realize it looks kind of cruel that he only has that itty bitty bucket, but it's the only thing he could have carried all by himself.






"So, you're telling me that if I go say Trick or treat, some dude will give me candy?"






"Okay then! It worked!!"





He got a bigger bucket anyway






No, no, silly boy. You eat the CANDY, not the costume...






"Yo quiero Candy"






He had enough of the big bucket.






Pushing the girls in the buggy






We both weren't ready...







Better picture of him. Not so much of me.






The only actual house we went to after the BX.
