Who's Halloween For?

Yesterday, while driving in our car, Jenny mentioned that we didn't have any Halloween candy to hand out and asked if we should just go to Olive Garden (gift certificates are fun) and not be home. We decided this would be a good idea, and to spend more time away from the house, we also decided to stop by and see our nephew Luke.

Luke's father is a fireman, so his costume was very cute:



However, seeing Luke was not the main reason we went to Kristi and Tony's house. In fact, that isn't how our car conversation ended. I replied to Jenny, "are we going to dress up?"

She responded that I could wear a suit if I wanted to, but that she had no intentions of putting on a costume. Afraid I would spill pasta on my suit, I decided against that being a good idea, but for some reason postulated the idea that we could both dress in our wedding day attire.

Jenny's eyes lit up. She likes wearing her wedding dress. It gives here a high, like a drug. She loves an opportunity to put it on, and wouldn't drop the idea I had given as a joke. So, the real reason we went to Kristi and Tony's was because Jenny wanted to put on her dress and thought it would be funny to show her sister.

I find it amusing that we now have pictures of Luke, as if he was at our wedding, even though he was not alive.

We also had to get the picture that watching the show "Friends" makes obligatory, so here is Jenny, washing dishes in her wedding dress:

I managed to stay behind the camera, but was wearing the suit I wore at our wedding.

I don't know who Halloween is for anymore. Jenny seemed so happy getting dressed up. It wasn't about little kids or candy for her.
