Halloween and Preschooler Photography.

Halloween was fun. We carved pumpkins on Halloween Eve: A scurvy pirate and Blue from Blue's Clues. The important figures in our life, obviously.

Actually, I was pretty impressed with my carving skills considering I hadn't done it in years. I broke the pirate in a couple places, but hey, who could tell? Once the candles were in they looked pretty fantastic

















Galen loved Trick-Or-Treating, especially when our neighbors would rave over his costume and let him pick out as much candy as he wanted. Good thing he's somewhat polite and would only take a couple. He did get a little short with one guy, it was hilarious. This old comes to the door with his bowl of candy, looks at Galen and says, "Oh, you're a kitty cat. How cute. How about a Kit-Kat for the little stripey kitty cat?" So, Galen politely takes the candy, then angrily grunts, "I'M A BEE!" and walks off.

That's my boy, wait until AFTER you get the candy to be rude.

Galen got quite the loot, including a ruler, pencil, play-doh, and business card. That's right. One of our neighbors, gave a 3 year old a business card for Halloween. Nice.

After rationing out the candy, Galen spent the evening with Oma, and my sister and I went to Saw V, which was good, but I totally had the ending figured out. Too bad, though I really liked Scott Patterson's character.

As an end note, I'd like to leave you with some photography Galen took while learning to use my digital camera. Think he's got a photographer career ahead of him?

My slipper.

Gertie...and my slipper.

Oh, you know, the floor. And a frog boot.

Table. Obviously.

Confusion.

Me minus head plus Gertie.
