Happy Halloween

It just gets more and more fun as Benson gets older!  The holidays are just so magical with children.  Benson was the dog Bingo. (Yes he was a dog last year but he was Toto, totally different.)  And someone gave us a lamb costume so Lucy was the cutest lamb around!  We don't have a picture but I was Mary (get it, Mary had a little lamb) and Anthony was a farmer (There was a farmer, had a dog  and BING-O was his name O).  In the days leading up to Halloween I taught Bens to smile and say "Trick-or-Treat" and then "Thank you." I wish I had gotten it on video.  We had a ward party with a trunk or treat on the Friday before Halloween. Benson loved getting all the candy and of course wanted to eat each piece as it was put in his basket.  On Halloween we went to a story time at Barnes and Noble were he got to wear his costume and then we took him trick-or-treating around our neighborhood.  After the people would drop a piece of candy in this basket he'd point to another piece and say "I need that one".  It was a bit embarrassing (thank goodness he's only two and not 10). He loved it and now after each meal asks for a trick-or-treat.
