Since Brian has to work on Halloween, we went to the Kansas City Zoo today for some of their trick or treating.

Colin was a little unsure of his pumpkin at first (we think the face was a little too much for him) but he warmed up to it when he saw people will put candy in it. And his monster truck is never out of reach.
I am sad we cannot trick or treat with the CT Hinckley's this year. As Brian and I were somewhat raiding Colin's candy after the trick or treating (just eating the things that are not safe for him, you know, looking out for his best interest) Brian did comment that next year he may be a bit more aware of his amount of candy, so good bye parent raiding.
And Carolyn, we have frequently wondered what it would be like to have a child who likes soft toys. We are just happy he is not obsessed with carrying around table knives anymore. I need to keep track of his truck pretty carefully because if he wakes up and we do not find it quick, well, you have an 18 month old so you can imagine how it goes.
And yes, I do think Colin wears the monkey well. We love the Old Navy costumes, even is lots of other people do also. We were also so happy because we got it just a couple of weeks ago and it was 50% off! Go 50% off!!
