We dressed the little guy up as the Great Pumpkin. So cheesy, but SO cute. Then he peed all over himself and we had to wash the shirt. Totally worth it, if you ask me.

This evening we went down to Cortland St. to watch the kids in the neighborhood go trick or treating. Not only was it our first outing as a family (not counting doctors and hospitals), and not only was it Cielo’s first Halloween, but it was Glenys’ first Halloween as well! There’s no such thing in Australia, so it was great to be able to share this uniquely American phenomenon with her.

She was astonished by the amount of ‘lollies’ the kids were getting, and she was shocked that she didn’t get a free sample at the ice cream shop. They called her out on not having a costume! I told her to explain that she was actually an 11 year old girl and yeah her costume was just that good, but she wasn’t having it.
