I felt pretty bad torturing Drew with that heavy bear costume, so I found the bumble bee at Target and decided I would use it as a back up if it was too hot out. And today was rather warm so I decided to go with the bee. He seemed a little happier in the lighter outfit. Earlier in the day he wore his "baby's first boo" shirt and pumpkin shoes. The shoes didn't fit too well (I guess that's what you get for $2.99 slippers) and they fell off everywhere we went - I lost them at the gym, in the grocery store parking lot, produce isle, frezer isle, checkout...I am surprised they made it until the end of the day. Drew went trick-or-treating at his cousins house and got to see Margaret in her costume. She made a beautiful fairy! They even had a special treat for Drew since he couldn't eat the candy - a stuffed doggie, what a lucky boy!
Last year, much to my dissapointment, we got NO trick-or-treaters. This year, I was praying for none so Drew wasn't kept up by the doorbell and the dog barking. I just didn't have the heart to shut off the lights, so I put a basket of candy on the front steps. I once again over bought candy, but I just checked the basket and it has a pretty good dent in it. Not sure if it was several children or just a few children taking lots of candy. Either way, I am glad not to have leftovers in the house.
