There's not much in the way of festivals or trick or treating in these parts, and I haven't seen one carved pumpkin.*
But Elliot's cousin Jack gave him a great costume.
And it's Elliot's very first Halloween, so we stuffed him in it.
And he loved it.

*At least not in our neighborhood, dang it. There probably are somewhere else in the country, just not around where I am sitting right now.
**Husband and I were invited to a party. This is us last year. We couldn't top it, so we're staying home. Also, it's hard (and expensive) to get babysitters.
***This was also a lesson on why I will never ever let him eat candy given out in a public place. Not only was it not wrapped, there was one kid who ran his fingers through the whole pile (and I am pretty sure he licked them, too.)
But today we didn't really have anywhere to go Halloween-y**, but we did have to go to the grocery store***, so we dressed the little man up and went there.
I'm pretty sure he didn't know the difference.

Elizabeth, take him to Gamle Stavanger tonight! Knock on Kyrre's door (Mellomstræn something or other!) for candy! I think lots of little kids will be out there tonight and it's very walkable with all those candles in the windows (some good photo ops too!) Yay!
He is so cute in his costume and I can see he's grown some since I last saw him too. Man it goes fast!
