Happy Halloween!

Our Halloween began by lounging around the house, taking a trip to our favorite store, Target, and then we headed off to our last physical therapy appointment. Kim said Bennett's neck is looking great and he's doing a lot of really good things with his movements so she is not worried about him at all. After a trip to a local teacher store and some supper which was frequently interrupted by trick-or-treaters, we got Bennett into his little green monster costume and started snapping pictures.

Our little neighbor friend, Brinlee, came over in her strawberry costume--so adorable! Then, we went to see our next door neighbors who gave Bennett a Ryan Braun bobble head. We walked through the yard to our other neighbors and got a nice little bag of candy, made especially for Bennett (and his parents :-) Then, we piled into the car and headed over to grandma and grandpa's.

Since he can't have candy, grandma and grandpa bought some strawberry/apple and banana puffs--yum! Grandma put some in a bowl and Bennett continued to dump them all over the floor! He ate them all up, so at least he knows how to pick up when rahe makes a mess! He also received a little talking spider, a Halloween picture frame, and a book. While we were there, many kids came to the door. Bennett was helping grandma give out candy. He seemed very interested and curious about all the costumes he saw! We again packed up and headed over to Grandma and Grandpa R's.

Bennett was having a blast with all their decorations and magazines! From grandma, grandpa, Jake, and aunts Kelly and Kristin, he got several books, a new outfit and sweatshirt, a plush pumpkin, a new highchair toy, and some baby food. Aunt Heather sent us a new pair of cool shorts and a card.


Poor Bennett had a long and very exciting day! He was wore out by the end of the evening! Thanks to everyone for the gifts and clothes and cards you gave us for Bennett's very first Halloween!
