Dynamic Duo

We ended October with a visit from Batman and Robin. This was the first year that Noah could really appreciate Halloween. (Last year’s staph infection and subsequent hospital stay put a damper on the holiday.) This year, he was ready to be Andrew’s sidekick. Turns out, Noah loves to dress up! He couldn’t wait to get his costume on, practically running to Taylor’s lap when it was time. Our first stop was the Holy Rosary Halloween party. It’s basically semi-controlled chaos, with superheroes, witches, princesses, and pirates running all over the gym. The older kids set up carnival-like games for the little ones, who go from station to station trying to win toys and candy. The kids love it. As it turns out, Noah also loves giant, inflatable snow globes.

Back at home, there were pumpkins to carve. We go for the traditional pumpkin face, nothing fancy.  Andrew added ears this year. Luckily, the weather was cool so our pumpkin made it to Halloween before getting moldy and gross.

The kids were excited about trick-or-treating, so we loaded up the car to hit up the full-size candy bars that NKB and LS were passing out. Andrew and Taylor trick-or-treated back to our house while Noah and I went straight home to pass out candy. .

 

Noah waited and waited, but we didn’t have many visitors this year. We called it a night. 

Even superheroes need to sleep
