This week was weird, with Halloween and other party aftermath = on Tuesday our friend Ponytail B (male) turned 50. Yay! So he and P came over for dinner and a movie (Buckaroo Bonzai - weirdest movie ever) Of course Wednesday was Halloween and D was planning to be a Dinosaur. But when we got home to change he decided he wanted to be a hunter. Fine. But when I said he would have to wear a jacket (his is camoflage so it would have been "hunter-y") he threw a major fit. This went on for an hour (mostly in his room with me not in the vicinity). When J got home I said he had one chance to get something on or I was leaving to help S with the Trick or Treaters. He managed to get dressed, called himself a "guard" (for some reason "hunter" was no longer good, although he had the same clothes on, including the offending jacket) As soon as we got in the car, he was great.

We went to S's house, and the kids (A and L) were ready to go, A was a "phantom" which I think was really one of the junk traders from StarWars Ep. 4 (first one); and L was a bee - he is only two and soooo cute! It was quite cold and we thought we'd leave J to man the door (S's husband being at work) and we would take all the kids a short way, then come back and drop off L. We went up and down one block - probably 12-14 houses - and when we got back all the boys just started playing. Which was great with me! Fun fun fun. We are lucky D is no candy hound - I think Jim has had more of his candy than he has!

Next big event is next weekend, all the cousins on my side are coming (6 kids and 6 "grownups"). D is very excited about having a 2nd party. Whatever.
