trick-or-treat, tobey

Tobey wasn't so sure about going trick-or-treating.  Last year we dressed him up and took pictures, but this year we decided to actually take him to a few houses.  The bad thing is that his bed time is 6:30pm (early bird!), and kids don't even trick-or-treat until about 7pm here.  At about 6:15 we tried to get him in his costume, but this is what he did:

He curled into a ball and started crying because he wanted to take a bath and go to sleep instead.  One thing about Tobey is that he likes his bedtime.  He does not like to stay up late.

It took both of us, but we finally got this little guy in his painter's costume.  We tried to take some pictures, but he wasn't very interested in doing that.  Once we started walking, he got a second wind and did pretty well.  We took him to only four houses, but I think that was more then enough.  We got home just in time to start answering our door for trick-or-treaters.  We let Tobey have one bite of candy, but the rest we gave away.

Here are some pictures from Halloween 2011:

I can't believe he has grown so much since last year!  And is so much more mobile that he wouldn't even sit down for one photo.  I really wanted to get a picture of him sitting next to a pumpkin each year, but I guess it will just have to be a picture of him being next to a pumpkin each year.  2011 will just have to be the year to demonstrate his mobility.
