Halloween is almost here

Benjamin is so excited for Halloween. Last weekend he attended his first pumpkin carving party, and last night he went to his first bonfire. He has been enjoying pumpkin whoopie pie au lait all week, and even slept for seven hours straight two nights ago so that he could build up a bit of extra energy for tomorrow's street party. To say that Salem celebrates Halloween is a bit of an understatement. We are expecting 200+ trick or treaters! Apparently we need to be prepared to turn out the lights when the candy runs out. Our street is closed to traffic for the evening, and everyone plans to be out and about. Hopefully we'll be able to snap some excellent photos of the hoo-rah, and of course Benjamin in his costume.
