Maia Lani's First Halloween...

Growing up, Halloween was always my favorite holiday. The costumes were fun. All the free candy you could eat. Going out in the evening with friends. It was all just so good. As I get older, I'm finding it harder to find good costumes and places to use them. I don't get much candy unless I buy it. And without kids to go with me, I don't have much excuse to go out trick-or-treating.

Maia is still a bit young to actually enjoy Halloween. After all, last year at this time, her Halloween costume was a fetus. But, I still had to go out and get her a costume anyway. I figured it would have to be one that is low maintenance and would work for an infant. I saw this and couldn't resist.

Maia as R2-D2. Or should I call her M1-L1? And she comes complete with her own sound effects...



The best part about having a baby trick-or-treat is that you get to eat her candy...



Our branch combined with another to have a big Halloween party with a carnival, chili cook-off, trunk-or treat and costume parade on Saturday night. Although Maia wouldn't know or care about what was going on, we wanted to go.

We went out shopping earlier. I'm going to be off island on Nov 2 so I can't vote that day. We went down to do early voting and it ended up taking much longer than anticipated. By the time we got home, we were all very tired. We slept through the activity. So, poor Maia won't get to show off her costume this year to anyone but the Internet. And since I don't like to have any costume go to waste, I found that if I ever convert to Judaism I can use part of her costume when I go to Temple...

Was R2-D2 kosher? I'm pretty sure he never had a Bris...
