Halloween 2009

We raided Grandma Sorensen's costume box and she found a great super hero costume that was perfect for Ben. With two different nights of candy-collecting he really stocked up. We went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. The kids enjoyed it for about a half an hour and then they started getting tired. We went over to one more neighborhood. It took some real convincing for Ben to carry on for much longer. He started removing all parts of his costume: the mask, the cape, the gloves. After a while I knew we had to head home. People probably couldn't even tell that he was dressed up at that point. We had collected a bunch of candy and even the older kids were ready by then, so we made our way back. I can't decide whether to let them gorge themselves for the next two days or to spread it out over the next two weeks. We'll see.
