My First Halloween!

Yesterday was my first Halloween!  I think my parents were a little more excited about it than I was.  Apparently everyone comes by our house to try to scare us, and we give them candy.  The streets were completely full of kids in costume - it was a crazy sight!  Look at this...it was pandemonium!

Anyway, I'm a kid, which means I had to put on a costume and get out there.  I was a bit reluctant, but once I got my costume on, everybody said I made a great dinosaur, so I was fine going out to hit the streets.

Here I am with Mom, early on.

 A little later, when we're out getting candy.  You scared yet?

 Being a scary dinosaur is exhausting work for a little boy.

I'm helping hand out the last of the candy.

All in all, I think it was a pretty good time.  I'm probably going to like it more when I'm old enough to walk and eat candy.  If you don't walk or eat candy, then it's hard to scare people and you're just a kid in a dinosaur costume.

I hope you had a great Halloween, and I'm looking forward to more fun times in the upcoming holiday season!

love,

Charlie

My First Haircut!

If you've been following along closely, you've probably noticed how shaggy my hair is getting. I've noticed, too, since it gets in my eyes when I'm trying to sleep and in my mouth when I'm eating. My parents finally broke down and decided it was time for a haircut.

It's pretty self explanatory, so I'm not going to write much.  Watch the transformation!

Not bad, huh? To be honest, I thought it was going to be a lot worse, but I'm pretty happy with the results.
