So Much Stuff I Can't Recall

Halloween Recap

Phil and I spent yesterday afternoon carving his pumpkin. Here's how that went:Last night we wound up driving into town so Phil could go trick or treating at Valley River Mall. Yeah, lame, I know. But whatcha gonna do? Dina and I got haircuts, the boy got a bucket full of candy, we all ate food court Chinese.

Phil was one of a bazillion Batmans at the mall (Darth Vader and Superman were also popular). Still, when the shopclerks oohed and ahhed about Batman coming to their store Phil thought it necessary to offer the following disclaimer: "No, it's just my costume." Kid knows who he is, I'll give him that.

Best costumes at the mall (besides Phil): Three baby girls (we're guessing triplets) dressed as sunflowers in a triple-wide stroller; in a mall full of Supermans there was one Supergirl (same costume as the boys, but with a wide red headband); an 18-month-old toddling around like Bruce Springsteen on the Born in the USA album cover (tucked-in t-shirt, bluejeans, red bandana in the back pocket).

I think we've got enough candy to keep us through Christmas, if not Valentine's Day.

2 Snarky Remarks:

My kids used to gauge the quality of holidays (and parades) by whether or not candy was involved. Obviously, Halloween ranked up there pretty high. They still expect candy in the Christmas stocking and Easter basket.
Looks like Phil had a fun time. (and probably mom and dad, too. :) )

Phil and his cousin think alike - Jack was Batman, too.

Glad he had fun trick-or-treating!
