Happy Halloween!

This year was Atticus's first Halloween!

Our rigid & packed schedule doesn't allow us to participate in social events, so we decided to throw a little party in the backyard. Also, we were too busy to cook, so we made it a pot luck.

Robby dressed up as a chef, I was a waitress, & the boy was broccoli in a pot. Then he peed while I was changing his diaper & got his costume & my costume wet.

Our party started at 2pm & ended at 5pm. Afterward, we took a short walk around the neighborhood to see all the activity. There were some elaborate displays with sound effects, strobe lights, & animatronics. One house even had a few actors leaping onto trick-or-treaters as they traipsed toward the front door for candy. One neighbor created a haunted house in his backyard. I didn't have the guts to walk through it, but Robby did, & he said it was pretty scary.

Next year, we'll go trick-or-treating & really enjoy being out among the ghouls and ghosties.
