Harry Carter!!

Carter's first Halloween last year was uneventful, to say the least. He dressed as a pepper (hated it!), we drove to show Amie/PaRandy & Meme/Pop...that was it. Here's a pic to refresh your memory:


So this year was a lot more fun....Harry Potter arrived at our house! Carter actually liked his costume!! He LOVED the wand (it lit up and made noises when he swung it), liked his robe, and tolerated the glasses long enough to get some pictures. The tie he wore was none other than Ryan's first-communion tie. It had a zipper that opened and closed when you pulled it! It was awesome and the perfect finishing touch.

When we headed out to trick or treat, I encouraged Carter to go on and get some candy. Our neighbor said, "Hi! Do you want some candy?" to which Carter replied, "No!" We laughed but he refused to take candy, reach in the bowl, put his candy in the "bumpkin" bucket, or say trick or treat. He still seemed to have fun, even if he was acting a bit shy.
