We took JP trick-or-treating with Le, Mary Mae, Ella (MM's best friend) and Michele and Oliver (Ella's parents). We only hit a few houses but we figured that was enough to make sure we could say he "hasn't missed a Halloween."
I'm a dairy cow and JP was a calf. It was an extremely literal costume choice given JP's current diet. Josh also had an inflatable Bull costume to round out the Donelson Dairy Farm theme though he opted not to wear it this evening.
We returned home just in time to face the waves of trick-or-treaters that are bussed in from nearby neighborhoods. No joke, the street at the end of our block was lined with cars, all full of kids ready to descend upon our neighborhood, costumes on their backs and empty loot bags in their hands. I only turned away one group of teenagers as they had not bothered to wear costumes. I told them that if I had spent this much money on candy and was myself wearing a costume, they had to at least take the extra effort and dress up. No candy for you. Move along now. They were nonplussed, to say the least. I made sure, at the end of the night, to bring in any of my Halloween decorations with any value in case these "kids" decided to return and express their ennui. Last year one of my witches was beheaded in a violent walk-by, no doubt an older trick-or-treater expressing his angst.
It was a great Halloween followed by a wonderful 33rd birthday for me. Josh watched Little Bit in the afternoon and let me go to CrossFit (a gym I belong to where they torture us with grueling workouts. I love it :) ) and when I returned we ate a delicious meal and enjoyed a very nice bottle of wine. Don't ask me what it was, all I know is that it was red and it was good. And Josh said it was expensive. :)
Enjoy the videos. I can't seem to stop watching the one with Ella and Mary Mae. Those little girls are so cute!!
