This was definitely our best Halloween so far! Our friends Joel and Liza came over with their six-month old daughter Juliette, who was the snuggliest monkey I've ever seen. We stayed in our own neighborhood for trick-or-treating, and I must say that I was really, really impressed! This place was rockin'--massive amounts of trick-or-treaters (sometimes felt like mobs in the streets), crazy haunted houses and huge displays of lights and decorations. After trick-or-treating at the first three houses on our block, Parker exclaimed, "This is great!" At the most insanely decorated house in our neighborhood, he said, "I wish we could live here!" He never seemed scared by any of the decorations, although we knew better than to venture into any of the haunted houses with him. It was so cool seeing him have so much fun this year--he loved his costume and he walked up to each door with a "Trick-or-Treat!" and gave almost everyone a "Thank You!" Once we got home, he organized his candy into a "candy store" about five times.
Parker added a light saber to his Superman costume, calling it "mixy-mixy," which I think his variation on "matchy-matchy." He said he was "a little bit Supermanish and a little bit Star Warsish." Cool. Why not?
