Alden received this authentic NASA astronaut jumpsuit when he was born from his Uncle Aaron and Aunt Liz. It was too large for his first Halloween, but worked great this year. Alden received many compliments on it from parents and caregivers at his daycare.
We did a little yard work while in costume. Alden vehemently wanted to help with raking leaves for about 5 minutes, then lost interest and wandered off into the neighbor's yard. I managed to move a few piles in the interim, but the lawn is still strewn with leaf litter.
Like last year, we were completely off the radar for trick or treating kids and had to eat all nasty bite-sized value pack candy ourselves. However, this time we figured that Alden would enjoy the holiday more if we stayed at home with some familiar faces rather than going out and getting freaked out by costumed marauders. So Ian, Gillian and Evelyn came over and we let the kids play with toys while we had dinner. Gillian dressed Evelyn as a ventriloquist's dummy, which makes this picture with her drinking cider all the more hilarious. Girl's got some talent!

Rocket boy! The NASA contingent out here approves. Was there a cardboard spaceship to go along? Astronaut icecream? Blast-off sounds? Aaron says: if he dresses up like an astronaut, Halloween might be delayed by weather or hydrogen leak...
