Way back in the distant past, I posted a picture titled Halloween Preview. Yesterday, October 28th, was the official Halloween Preview, Trick or Treating in the civilized world of the metropolitain Milwaukee area (as opposed to the wilds of Waukesha County where they have the annual candy extotion on the actual night of All Hallows Eve - obviously there's something wrong in the head with them folk out there). Peter, bless his little 95th percentile soul, slept through the first half hour of the all the little ghouls and goblins draining the neighborhood of small candy packages, while his parents grew anxious with every sleepy moment he kept us from getting his piece of the action. Did we not purchase a precious lobster costume before he was even born? And he was asleep? Halloween for these new parents was not supposed to mean handing out candy to all the other kids and their parents. But, hark! What was that noise? Why, it was the baby monitor! Peter is awake and crying! Hurray! He gets to show off his precious cuteness in full effect! Huzzah!
(Yes, that's Cousin Elana as a bunch of grapes and her dad, Uncle Mike)
Ok, so we only hit about 10 houses total. But it was chilly and Peter's big mitts... er, hands were getting cold. So we cut the festivities short and returned to the party at his aunt & uncle's house, where he kept his motor going as he always does when three or more people gather with social intentions (Peter = party animal).
Eventually we got him to see his Granny well after the sun (and, er, the son) went down for the night. When he got home for the night he slept a good 6 hours before waking up hungry, so that was good...
