Halloween is and has always been, without a doubt, my
absolute favorite holiday. Chad always
laughs at me because anytime the word Halloween comes up, I can’t help but
throw in “I love Halloween! It’s my favorite holiday!”
Ever since I was a kid, I don’t know what it is, but I just
can’t get enough of it.
However, the wind was taken from my Halloween sails when Chad
told me that he’d have to go out of town for a conference. We both were so incredibly bummed since this
Halloween we’d actually get to do things with Bennett. Last year the little guy was a mere three
month lump of a baby who threw up on his costume within 5 minutes of putting it
on.
…not so fun.
But this year, we were so excited. We ordered Benny’s costume early. We scoped out what neighborhood wanted
to take him around. We were ready!
…but such is life.
As much as we missed having Daddy around on Halloween, I
think it is safe to say Bennett had a blast…aside from his 15 month checkup
shots that I strategically placed in the morning to be able to excite his
spirits afterwards.
After Benny’s checkup
where we found out the little monster now weights 24 lbs (40th percentile
– which I still do not believe…I mean, have you SEEN his legs???) and is 31
inches long (39th percentile – this explains it though!), we headed
to my work to do some trick or treating.
I took the day off because well, I LOVE HALLOWEEN!
Hamburger boy sure was a hit and walked around visiting all
my co-workers collecting treats and candy.
HE LOVED IT!
We then went home and took a much needed nap and rested up
for some trick or treating around the neighborhood later that day. I walked around with Bennett pretty early and
didn't really go up to doors but stopped and talked to other moms and neighbors on
the way.
We came home around 7 just in time to eat some candy, get
all sticky and chocolatey, take a nice bath, and go to bed.
We sure missed Daddy, but can’t wait til next Halloween to
spend it with him!!
