The best and worst part of Halloween is eating my three year old son’s candy. And I don’t mean ‘worst’ because it’s his candy and I’m taking it for myself. Egads, man! No one should eat eight pounds of candy by themselves, especially a three year old.
Gabe didn’t last long on Halloween. He fell asleep going from one Granny’s house to the other, but that’s okay. Counting our church’s trunk-or-treat, and a turn around the local businesses with Mother’s Day Out (the daycare at the local Methodist church, not the rock band), it was his third time trick-or-treating. He did wake up after a little while, and everyone got to see him in his costume, he was very cute, and it was lots of fun.
Afterwards, I met my friend’s Patterson and Brian at Brian’s house for some Halloween movie watching. Brian hung a cloth off his back patio, set up a projector and some speakers, and we sat in lawn chairs watching a movie (and freezing, but it was fun and worth it). We watched The Changeling (George C. Scott not Angelina Jolie). It’s a great little haunted house movie, and an even better venue for movie watching. Plans were made for future movie themes.
It was a good holiday for the Wisdom family. I hope it was for you too.
Now the countdown is on for turkey and pie.
This was Gabe's costume. He's part of Lightning McQueen's pit crew, of course.
Teach your kid to smile.
He’s very serious about winning the race!
