I am not usually a big fan of Halloween. It is just not my holiday of choice. But having a little one definitely makes it more fun!
Allow me to introduce Linus. Who, true to character, loves his pumpkin!
I started thinking about Cullen’s first halloween costume almost as soon as he was born, but it took me until September to actually decide on a costume. That was the difficult part…making the costume was pretty easy. He already had the shorts and shoes. I bought a blue blanket, painted black stripes on a red t-shirt, and found the perfect jack-o-lantern treat bag at Pottery Barn Kids. At the last minute, I put together a ‘Welcome Great Pumpkin’ sign; a Linus costume would not be complete without it.
Corey, Cullen, and I started the night handing out candy. Cullen had a blast! He kept reaching his hand into the bowl to take a handful of candy before we could give it to the trick-or-treaters. Sorry Cullen, no candy yet.
Once things slowed down a little, we took Cullen to about three houses. He couldn’t not trick-or-treat on his first Halloween! We really just wanted to show him off to our neighbors, but he got a few pieces of candy anyway. He had way too much fun ‘sorting’ his candy when we got home.
Happy Halloween everyone!
