Well we had a GREAT time carving our pumpkin today and going trick or treating! The highlight had to have been Benjamin passing out the candy tonight! He was so sweet and wanted to give the kids candy. He wasn't too excited about going at first, he couldn't figure out why WE just didn't give him candy. He knew we had loads to hand out, why couldn't he just have it :)
We finally got him out ... and he was READY!
We first stopped at the Lindquists for a family photo...
Then we were really set to go... up and down the "hills" of our neiborhood with the Lindquists. We tried telling Benjamin to say "trick-or-treat" ... but that's a little bit much for his vocabulary. He did say "thank you" to almost everyone in sign language - but not too many people knew what he was saying -- but it's the thought that counts! Jonathan took Benjamin to the ONE really scarey house and he loved it, he came out saying... "rawwww"! Here is a picture of Benjamin and Jonathan actually trick-or-treating...
After trick-or-treating ... we headed for home so that Benjamin could check out his candy and FINALLY see the jack o' lantern we had been working on which he helped clean out! He was most interested in what was beneath his HAT ...
and also looking inside to see why he was lit up so BRIGHT!
Home at last ... now time for daddy to hand out candy ... LOTS of it, me to clean up, and bath for Benjamin ... BUT ... we figured out that he LOVED handing out the candy! Right after prayers, and before bed... the door bell rang again ... Benjamin ran to the window, grabbed some candy and was waiting to give it to our trick-or-treaters! He was a BIG help! What a GREAT evening!

Rachel, Benjamin is too cute! I love his little golfer costume. Thanks for the birthday wish. I'm glad you all had a happy Halloween!
Awweee Rachel I have to say Benjamin costume is way too cute. what a great idea. My kiddos loved handing out candy also. humm maybe next year the adults should trick or treat and the kids stay home? what do you think? Giggles
I'm with you, Tina! Rachel, I love the picture with him by the window. So cute.
