Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

Gareth experienced his 1st Halloween a few weeks back. After a great deal of deliberation, he decided to go with a Dad-pleasing costume . . . The Green Lantern!


As this picture attests, Gareth was shocked to learn about the Halloween tradition.

That's right, free candy!

Hearing the word, "candy," Gareth jumped right into the action.

He's still struggling with the concepts of "candy" and "not candy." Still, he seems to enjoy trying to eat everything and anything.


After a quick Halloween card snack, we headed off for tricks or treats!

He was obviously still a little stunned by the whole concept. Still, we gave it a good go. Here we are making the rounds at one of the Luther residence halls.


Yes, Gareth, that's a wig. Mom's hair hasn't been blonde in quite some time.

Rounding a corner, we found ourselves attacked by a bat!

Good thing Batty Bat won't bite!
