It's been a busy Halloween day here - we hosted play group with our friends, most of them in costume (not Dex, he said no thank you). Dexter went to his first swimming lesson since spring this afternoon, which went ok - the teacher said he only whined for half the time. Our goal by the end of eight weeks is for me to be able to stay there and watch (currently I just have to leave or all hell breaks loose), and have the little man not lose his shit. We'll see how it goes.
And then we practiced some trick or treating, and Dex rang our door bell a few times to practice, and then we sent him on his merry way to Mr. George and Miss Penny's house. And he and Daddy came back about three seconds later to ring our door bell again and get some more treats, aaaaaaand... then he was done. Do you want to go out to get more treats? No thank you. Want to stay here with Mama.
So, he went out to one house. And he saw Murphy the dog, which might have been the highlight of his night. Ah, well. At least I only paid five bucks for his costume.
Happy Halloween!
Dragon. Not a turtle. Dragon. Maybe could have passed for a dinosaur, but I think the wings make it a dragon. We tried to pass it off as Puff the Magic Dragon, to make it cooler. No dice.
Practicing. He had it down. Ring door bell. Someone opens the door. Say Trick or Treat. Get a treat. Eat the treat. If he remembered, say thank you. He forgot all of those steps at Mr. George's house - distracted by Murphy the dog.
The boys head off across the yard to Mr. George's house.
Yeah, that whole walking thing didn't last very long.
Dexter's punkin
Both our pumpkins. John was a slacker and never carved his pumpkin. My VT got some compliments.
Getting the full wing effect
When asked to show off his wings, Dex did this - his Chicken Wing dance
I'm not sure what kind of random Batman dance this was, but it had John crying with laughter
Happy Halloween, cute boy. We love you!
