When I grew up in Utah and Halloween came, there was usually a 50% chance that snow would be on the ground to scurry over in one's costume to get the highly sought after candy so coveted by kids. I remember being in my costume and knowing that wearing a coat would of course ruin the whole look. I suppose as a kid, you overlook such details and risk freezing especially knowing that there is a pillow sack full of candy at the end of the night. So when the sun would set and the temperature would drop into the 40's, it was a mad dash to see how fast one could go around the neighborhood, smile nice a big and make it back home before the candy froze.
Fast forward thirty some odd years......and today in South Texas as the A/C hums on, it is hard to get that Fall feeling in the air. No leaves to rake - only palm trees. It was 85 degrees here today with the sun shining brightly. We took some pictures of Brenden's first Halloween. His costume is a cute onesie - works for me!

And never one to disappoint, his diaper leaked and we had to give him a bath - he loves eating the bath toys.

That's a perfect costume :) Wow, 85 degrees! I know how you feel about that fall feeling - it's been in the 70s the past few days in MN (after we'd already suffered days of 30 degree weather) and although it felt nice and cozy then, and VERY fall-like, for the past few days I've been so much more active and excited to go outside again! Being outside is almost worth the trade-off of missing out on that fall chill in the air...
