Levi's first Halloween was spent at the Outlet Mall in Williamsburg. It was about 68 degrees...warmer than any Halloween I ever experienced as a child. We live in a condo complex with mostly retired people and Trick or Treating doesn't happen. In years past our church has hosted a Trunk or Treat, but didn't this year, so on a friend's recommendation we decided to go where Levi could be seen in his costume and where mom and dad wouldn't feel too bad about taking candy for a 6-month old.
My mom made his costume. Josh and I wanted something aquatic since he really enjoys his sea horse and fish toys, so we decided on a crab. I am proud to say that I quickly made his candy bag. I also added some scenery to his stroller to make it look like an ocean. I just brought out a few of his toys and a blue blanket to look like water. It was fun. While trick or treating at the 12-15 stores we went to he was mistaken for a lobster and a devil, but that's okay.
He really had no idea what was happening, but it was fun for our family. After we got home I left the room to grab his pajamas and came back to find him enjoying the "fruits of his labors." I wasn't planning to do a photo shoot with his candy, but it ended up being really fun to watch him have fun for about 10 minutes before getting ready for bed. Maybe next year he can savor a piece or two of his well earned candy and not just the wrappers.
(Sorry the pictures are displayed haphazardly...I still haven't quite figured out the fine art of blogging.)
Photo shoots are fab! And haphazard is great. :) (Aaron has started using that word since he found out the word 'random' is not a correct term! Ha!)
