At first, we weren't really sure what this Halloween mess was all about...

And then I explained that he'd get lots of candy so Mason perked up immediately.
Well, that is until he found out he had to wear a costume...

But then he thought it a decent enough exchange- he'd be a monkey {which he really is anyway}, and people would gift him with treats.

We went to our church's Fall Festival the Sunday night prior, but he also really enjoyed going door-to-door trick-or-treating. This was our first year to try this {since he walks now}. He knew that once we arrived at a door, he'd hop out of the stroller, would knock or try to reach the doorbell and then he'd happily grab candy from the offered dish. At the end he'd wave "Bye Bye". He said "trick treat" a couple of times, but only on the sidewalk after we'd already visited a house *sigh*

After about 45 minutes, he'd had enough though so we strolled back home and he enjoyed giving out candies to the trick-or-treaters that visited our house. What a good little goblin!

Happy Halloween!
