I think Halloween is one of those holidays you sort of forget about as a young adult. As a kid, it was great to run around in a ridiculous costume and get candy. As a student, it was fun to get dressed up with friends and go to a party. But as an adult without kids, it just wasn't that cool anymore.
Well, I have discovered that Halloween once again becomes cool when you have kids to enjoy it with! We got Hannah all dressed up as a sweet strawberry (thanks to Nana for the awesome costume!) and Leonidas went as a banana (yes, we dress the dog up too). Then we trolled around the neighborhood with some friends and their babies collecting candy that everyone knew only the adults could enjoy. It was good times :)
I was nervous that all of the neighbors would think we were big mooches bringing our babies to trick-or-treat, but my mom assured me it was acceptable, and she was right - everyone was happy to meet the babies and super friendly to us too!
