So this past Friday, Max had a day full of pumpkins, witches and animals. Unlike last Hallowe'en, where Max was barely capable of being propped up against couch cushions for a photo shoot, he was able to walk around and take it all in for himself.
In the morning, he went to the Children's Village playgroup party for a couple of hours. There were kids in costume, snacks, and songs! One of the kids in costume, a lion, decided to chomp Max's hand pretty badly...not so good. But Max had a good time regardless, munching on cheese, crackers and bananas. Mom and I are very grateful that we could grab an hour to step out and see our little munchkin interacting with other munchkins.
Later, that night, Max went out for Hallowe'en for the first time. His Auntie L and her friend N came over, all dressed up (a bumblebee and Snow White!) and ready to go. They even brought a costume for me. I'll let you see the pictures to find out who I was. We went out and did a quick loop of about fifteen houses in the 'hood and scored bigtime. Particularly at this one house where we got about 20 items. Awesome. The residential (non-artery) street one block over was a parade of trick-or-treaters and roughly 40% of the houses were doling out candy. Now we know where to hit next year.
While we're on the topic of places to hit next year, let it be known that Holly scoffed at me when I suggested traipsing across Island Park to hit Jason Spezza's house...as it turns out, he was out of town on a road trip, but his girlfriend was allegedly handing out full-sized chocolate bars!! Our neighbour across the street was practically salivating over the full size Rolo that he had received when we saw him at playgroup on Saturday morning. Given the volume of kids she must have seen, she probably went through at least $300 worth of chocolate. Not like that's a lot of money to people who make $7M a year. Although that house apparently set them back $6M...
Anyway, here is the evidence:
