Happy Halloween!

I didn't think Halloween was all that exciting, that is, until I had a child. After having a child, it is like holidays are fun again! Actually, more fun than when I was the child experiencing them. There is so much joy in watching them have so much fun. It is a totally different perspective, and one I couldn't possibly understand until I experienced it. As James gets a little older, the excitement just grows. Each holiday since he was born I think, "This year he will really enjoy it, he's at just the right age." Then, when the next year rolls around, I think the same exact thing and that it will even better than last year.

His Halloween party at school last night was lots of fun. It was so cute to watch them checking out their friends with the looks on their faces, as if to say, "Hmm, I know you, but you kinda look a little different, maybe its the monkey get up you're wearing?" We are really looking forward to trick-or-treating tonight.




Here are some pictures from the past Halloweens (not that there have been that many - he's only 2 1/2!)



First Halloween - Incredible Hulk (and pumpkin sweat suit after the party)















Second Halloween - University of Carolina Football Player (all football players like Smarties, right?)



Tonight's costume - a dinosaur (It's actually a dragon, but we're sticking with what he knows)



Happy Halloween!
