Banks' First Halloween

Anyone that knows me is well aware that I LOVE holidays. Patrick jokes that I had a baby just so that I could go all out for the holidays and act like a kid again. :-) That being said, I actually kept things kind of simple for Banks' first Halloween costume. He already had a grey sweatsuit so I ordered him a shark hat from Etsy, and BAM he was a SHARK! The cutest little shark ever! We took him to his daycare's fall festival where he enjoyed watching the older kids play games and run around in their costumes. We also took him to a pumpkin patch, but we didn't get a pumpkin this year (the first year in a long time I haven't gotten one!). Last year I bought a pumpkin, carved it, and bought lots of candy to give out only to have 2-3 kids come trick-or-treating. I guess it's because we live in the back of our neighborhood. So this year we went to Mellow Mushroom, ate pizza, drank some pumpkin beer, came home and put Banks down, and then watched a scary movie. It was a fun Halloween! I look forward to taking Banks trick-or-treating next year :-)
