Halloween Recap

Here's Henry's official take on Trick or Treating: "This is the best thing ever!" He actually said that. Several times. We went around the neighborhood with his friend Jensen, who was dressed as Bob The Builder. The neighbors were happy to see us and very generous with the candy treats. Henry collected way more junk than I was expecting. It's been sorted (I think he's too young to have suckers and gummy candies--we can't brush his teeth well enough) and hidden away, with acceptable items to be doled out slowly. Henry should get a reasonable cut of the loot after his work-from-home mom works through the stash.

The residents one block over went all out, closed off the street and threw a block party, with games, prizes and decorations. It was quite the scene. We went over for a few minutes, but after awhile the crowd of kids in scary costumes started bothering Henry and he got all clingy. Still, we had fun. Henry did his Old MacDonald dance for anyone who asked. Very cute.
