Penn's First Halloween

To be honest, I hate Halloween.  I'm not really into dressing up (I mean I had the decade as I child where I absolutely loved dressing up, mostly as a prairie girl like Laura Ingalls Wilder, but once I hit middle school I was over it).  I don't like candy or giving it to my kids.  I hate scary stuff.  It's always stressful keeping an eye on the boys and getting candy out to the 150+ kids that storm our porch in a 2 hour period.  So, I'm relieved that trick-or-treating has been postponed here in Pittsburgh.  I have a few more days until I have to deal with it all.  The only celebratory thing I've done today is to put Penn in his cute onesie gifted from Aunt Leah.  He had to do a little photo shoot since it is his first Halloween and so we could have some pics for his loving Aunt Leah.

    Yes, 150+. The first year, before I knew about that crazy number, I wanted to try and give out healthy stuff. Well, the 3 piddly bags of mini raisin boxes and dark chocolates were gone in the first 30 minutes, so we had to turn our lights off. I now buy the huge bag of tiny assorted candy like tootsie rolls and stuff. We would go broke if we had to buy fun size bars for all of them!
