Happy Halloween!

Baby's first Halloween.

My little pumpkin became a little pumpkin for Halloween. This is the first thing I ever bought for the baby. I wandered through Target - must have been 11/1/05 and saw costumes 1/2 off. Being my mother's daughter I browsed through the offerings, did the math and picked up this little number. It fit her perfectly and was nice and toasty warm for a very cool evening.

Lydia didn't care for the experience too much. Don't let the smiley face snoozing in the car seat fool you. She was pretty wigged out by the costumes. At least that's what we figured, because she burst into hysterical crying every time she saw our friend Christopher. Christopher's wife, Jen, babysits Lydia once a week, so he is not a stranger to her. We figure it had to be the pirate's hat he was wearing. She liked him again on November 1st.

I'm already looking forward to next year's costume. Let me know if you find any good places to get one 1/2 off.
