Happy Halloween!

0 comments
I really like Halloween.
And this year I was especially looking forward to it since Ace is now old enough to fit in a real costume.

Not that he wasn't the cutest ghost ever last year, of course...


Remember?



I have to admit though that we kind of cut it short with him and his costume.
For me, Halloween started on Friday when I went to the office dressed up in a Morticia-like outfit.
(Yeah, I know... not much of an effort for me since I had all the necessary clothes in the closet already ;))
But that day we still did not have something for Ace although we had been to several stores already.
And we saw some craziness... at the PartyPackagers store on Orfus Road there was war... the shelves were empty and people were standing frustrated in long lines at the entrance of the warehouse in the back to get one of the last costumes that were still available. I have no idea why the store had not been prepared for this - it's not like Halloween comes as a surprise each year.. Well, maybe for some folks... like winter.. but that's another story...
Anyways, on Saturday we found a lizard costume for Ace at ToysRUs and we were good to go for the big night the next day since I also got some fangs to be a vampire and Markus got a Scream mask to be a killer.

We were able to take some great photos before heading out cause Ace did not like to wear the hood with the lizard head and his complaining made it look like as if he was scared of me. Awesome!



Then we went off to our very first Trick-Or-Treating. It was a first for all of us since neither Markus and I had done it in Germany where it's not very common.
Despite the cold it was a blast. It was really fun to knock on people's doors and of course get the candy. ;)
Everybody was really friendly and loved Ace in his green lizard costume. He even did not mind the hood anymore.
I don't think that Ace really understood what was going on but I am sure he found it at least interesting.
We only did about a dozen or so houses in the neighborhood before going home again since it was too cold to stay outside too long, but for the first time it was good.
I can't wait for next year when Ace should be able to walk and maybe even say "Trick or Treat!" himself! :)
