To the Rescue (By request...for Jooliyah!)

Here is Alex in his Halloween costume. He was a firefighter. We went to the mall and trick-or-treated. Our street isn't really a good spot for trick-or-treating. It was a fun time, and Alex really seemed to enjoy watching other kids and spotting some of his favorite characters--Elmos, pirates, dogs, etc.

Since this was the first time out, I thought that the first piece of candy might result in Alex running to find a spot to sit and chow down, but he didn't really seem to understand that there was candy being handed out. We had to guide him up to the candy-passer-outers, and he kept getting distracted and walking out of line to point out other kids' costumes and things. I guess that's good. I should enjoy that as long as it lasts.

Finally, this picture. He insisted on putting the hat on backwards, since the long part just seems to belong in the front. Oh well. Whatever. He was still pretty darn cute.
