Happy Halloween!

We had a fun Halloween – it felt a little rushed since I got back from Portland later than planned (and had to run to JoAnn’s that night 5 minutes before they closed to get some final supplies to finish up Bennett’s costume). But we had fun – we met Nate at work and trick-or-treated through his office, so it was fun for all of us to see where he worked. We were there fairly late so everyone was generous with their candy :) We then headed over to a Halloween party hosted by some of our friends, where we had yummy dinner and treats, and went trick-or-treating in their neighborhood. The boys had fun and were less shy than last year, so overall a success. We went back to the party and played some games before heading home.

Bennett dressed up as Super Bennett – thanks for the costume Jess and mom! It was a modification of the Super Landon costume my sister made for my nephew a few years ago. Bennett originally wanted to be a pumpkin, but Nate thought that wasn’t fun enough and we couldn’t find a non-cheesy, non-baby pumpkin costume. We were glad when, after getting the superhero cape my mom sent him in the mail, he got excited about being a superhero.

Ryan was a cowboy – which is a Morris family tradition for 2-year-olds (starting with my brother Jake when he was 2). Ryan’s feet were too big for the boots we’ve been passing around among the nephews so I debated whether it was worth getting new ones or not. I finally did and Ryan LOVED them. He wanted to carry the box out of the store, then into the house, and put the boots on as soon as we got home, then wouldn’t take them off for his nap. I was glad I bit the bullet and bought them.
