Happy Halloween from Dread Pirate Eye Injury

Ben really needed an eye patch after I foolishly let him play "basket boy" near one of the baby gates and he fell face-forward into it. ("Basket boy" involves placing one of his toy baskets over his head and running around, and/or sitting in it at an angle so it falls over, preferably into something sharp or dangerous.)

He looked cute but slightly pitiable in his pirate costume while we briefly went trick-or-treating in a friend's neighborhood. Note poor scraped eye!

He was mostly interested in the glow sticks.

It's impossible to keep up with the older kids, especially when you insist on wandering randomly into the street.

Very cute! My son is all-kinds-of-scarred-up. Especially now that he plays football. It adds character, right?

he doesn't look to pleased. You weren't trying to portray him as one of "those pirates"? (Just Kidding)
