Tonight was Ben's first Halloween and it was a big night for the little guy. I dressed him up as Spiderman, and luckily the weather was just right - not to hot and not too cold- for him to wear the costume in comfort (and without the socks that he kept pulling off!).
We headed over to Tracy and Parker's place around 5pm and helped Parker finish up his "Jack Sparrow" makeup, and then the four of us headed to the Collierville Town Square to take some pictures with the fall decorations. Parker ran into a few "Ninja" friends from school and the boys were thrilled to be able to use their swords for a "real" fight. I like how they all held on to their trick-or-treat bags the whole time - very authentic. 
Then we made a brief stop at Central Church's Trunk-or-Treat for Parker to do the moonbounce and play a few games before heading over to Jenny, Megan and Brandon's house for the "real deal" trick-or-treating. Megan and her friends were 60's hippies, Brandon and his friend were some sort of zombie/ghoul/grim reaper and of course, Parker was Jack Sparrow and Ben was his super-Spidy self! Jenny, Tracy and I decided to take advantage of the fun as well and were a go-go girl, an airline stewardess and a German girl. Parker and the boys and Megan and her friends flew around
the neighborhood and filled up their bags and buckets in no time flat. Ben and I walked along with Tracy and Jenny at a MUCH slower pace and got a few pictures of Ben's first time trick-or-treating. Jenny's neighborhood was the perfect Halloween neighborhood - almost every house had amazing decorations and there was even a hayride for the kids to take around the block run by one of her neighbors. We even got to trick-or-treat at Spongebob Squarepant's house!
It was a very late night for Ben - we didn't finish trick-or-treating until an hour after his normal bedtime, but luckily he had taken 2 2+ hour naps earlier in the day and so he was quite interested, if a little confused, about all of the Halloween festivities. It was a great Halloween and we can't wait to do it again next year!
