Mathias seemed…intrigued by his first year of trick-or-treating on two feet. Thanks to a great gift from his Uncle David, he went out as a fireman. The costume made its debut on Saturday, when we strolled up to Lincoln Square for a Halloween event hosted by local businesses.
Mathias originally cried with every sighting of the jack o'lantern, but by Saturday he was ready to carry it.
As always, mom helped the little guy navigate the unfamiliar.
"Hey, this isn't so bad!"
Little did Mathias know that dad would eat most of his candy.
Tonight, we headed out again to see what sweets the neighborhood had to offer. We were off to a great start after visiting our landlord, Patrick: he gave us four Reese’s peanut-butter cups!
Posing on our stoop before heading out for tricks or treats.
But the second house we visited had a very scary set-up, and Mathias spent most of the night after that in tears. We did get a good haul of candy, but our little fireman didn’t earn any commendations for bravery this year. But, it was still a lot of fun. We’ll see if he’s ready for the ghosts and ghouls next year.
