Halloween, pre and post

A few quick glimpses of pre and post Halloween stuff. Pumpkins before we chopped them up. They later turned out pretty cool. Isaiah did most of his own cutting this time (the elongated one). Then there is the candy fest. Alfie is right (oooh I bet he’d like to hear me say that more often….)! Halloween is an odd tradition. You put on a costume, walk to someone’s door, knock and they give you candy. No work involved just plain walking and receiving… kind of odd… regardless we did a good portion of Lincoln ave and part of the next street over before pooping out and being rescued by Oma in her car. Aman and I had a chance to hang one afternoon so we raked leaves and played. The cold has dropped in like a bomb this week. Winter is basically here. We did have some nice fall days with leave and warmth but those are gone. Most trees have lost their leaves and are hunkering down for winter. The boys and I have been frequenting the skate park a bunch. Here is a vid of Isaiah’s first day going down one of the big ramps and then Aman following. skatepark Anyway, it is now sleepy bedtime for me… and I still have to go upstairs and check in with Britt before climbing in bed to find out how Marius extricates himself and saves Jean Valjean from the clutches of the evil Thernadiers (Les Miserables).
