first halloween

yes, i know technically this is simon's second halloween, but i don't think the first one counts when he's only four months old and didn't dress up and was asleep for the whole occasion. i'd say we made up for it this year.

my calendar was full of things to do. more than we were physically able to do. i already posted about the scarecrow festival. last weekend we went to boo at the zoo. it was cold. yesterday was halloween scream at the senior center that my dad goes to in bountiful. today we had little haunts, get bewitched, monster block party and trick-or-treating at the mall on our list. we went up to salt lake for the monster block party, but there was nothing there. luckily we were just driving by first since simon was asleep in the car. i just now found out it was cancelled :( i was most looking forward to this event. all month! oh well. we drove down to west jordan for "get bewitched" at gardner village. i had never been to gardner village and was curious. it wasn't that great. maybe it would have been better if they were passing out candy at all the boutiques. maybe it would have been better if they were open, instead of closing at 4, just 5 minutes before we got there. but they did have some pretty cool decorations. after that we drove back to provo and went to the university mall for trick-or-treating. it was pretty crowded. there was basically one continuous line along all the store fronts. but we managed to get in and out of there with plenty of candy in 45 minutes. then we came home, fed simon, bathed simon, put simon to bed.

happy halloween!
