Mall Trick-or-Treating

• Since Portsmouth is strange and celebrates Halloween on the night before, we get to do other fun stuff like go trick or treating at the mall on the actual night of Halloween! I'm all for this! It's so much fun...you're warm, you don't have to walk far to get lots of candy, and you get to see tons of kids in costumes...what could be better?

• Ben was much happier on Friday night and willingly put on his costume...all except for the clown nose, it scared him for some reason. I was thrilled to get some pics of him wearing everything and with a smile on his face. He was mesmerized by all the goings-on at the mall and had a ton of fun. He didn't want to take his hat off or give up his bag of candy. He dragged it all around!
