Around six in the evening, we set up shop. He jumped around and had a jolly good time while I snapped some photos of our Halloween decorations (thanks Grandma and Grandpa!).
Notice the pumpkin lights staked in the ground and the lights on the railing in the background. These were Little Ted's favorites. After we brought them home, he found them, still in their boxes, in the laundry room. He exclaimed, "Look! Pun-kins! Beautiful!" Of course, mommy had to make sure we put them up after that enthusiastic response.
Little Ted loves cats. The top one is named Gilbert, after the cat on the cartoon "Calliou." The bottom one didn't earn a name, but Little Ted did pick him out.
And here's our Spiderman. He was so excited to be dressed up and playing outside in his costume. But having loads of children decked out in all sorts of costumes come up to our door was the icing on the cake.
Highlights of the evening included seeing another Spiderman identical to Little Ted (he had to adjust his mask to make sure he matched the other little boy perfectly). Iron Man, Captain America, and the Incredible Hulk were also favorites (do you see the trend here?).
All in all, Little Ted had a great time and talked about it again the next day. I wonder which superhero he'll want to be next year . . .
