Happy Halloween! We've had a couple of days of big fun. Last night we had our family & friends Halloween party at the lake where we ate spooky foods and toured a crashed alien space ship (complete with a Probe Room). This scared Dennis a good bit, even though he knew it was Gigi's house and not a real ship, even though we assured him it was all make believe, even though we all wore tin foil on our heads so the aliens couldn't invade our minds. Dennis quizzed us about extraterrestrial phenomena and its possible truthfulness all the way home. And he ended up sleeping with us because all he could think about was aliens coming to get us.
Today he toured the pumpkin patch again on his midday date with Gigi and Gran. They picked him up from school early and took him to have some fun. They had so much fun that he took a three hour nap before Transforming into Optimus Prime to go trick-or-treating tonight. This was his first year of honest-to-goodness, actual house-to-house trick-or-treating (and yes, I've now officially hyphened myself to death). We've done the trunk-or-treat before where you go from car to car, and we stopped at one of those at a local church before heading to the subdivision most popular with kiddos on Halloween night. Things have changed. We didn't march house-to-house and ring doorbells. Instead, all the homeowners sat outside to greet passing children, HUNDREDS of passing children, and hand out candy. We saw tons of people we knew, people from church, people from Preschool... We admired costumes and enjoyed watching Optimus run up to houses to give his greetings and thanks, shopping bag slung over his shoulder. He scored some serious chocolate. I hope he shares. We did some serious walking!
