Halloween!

We had a great Halloween up here. The snow had melted entirely (no, I’m not kidding. We had about 10 cm of snow on the ground Wednesday morning. Sigh.) and the day was beautiful. But our Halloween actually started on Thursday when 17 babies & 17 moms showed up at our house for an afternoon Halloween party.

Here are some pictures of Thomas getting ready for the party:























And here’s what happens when 17 babies under 10 months old come to a party:



















One look at the pictures and you will not be surprised to hear that the most popular “treat” brought by a mother was 8 Guinness. We pretty much all limited ourselves to a half a can or less (they were big cans), but I think most of us partook…

For Halloween itself, Thomas once again donned his bat costume (or had it donned for him) and headed to his Daddy’s work. Everyone there oohed and aahed over him and he accepted it all with good grace, even letting other people hold him while he smiled and laughed.


For those of you who have remarked upon the bat costume, yes, we have clearly gotten over the bat/rabies incident in the summer. Now if we dress him as a contractor next year, you’ll know we’ve recovered from the renovations, too.
