Every year, the South end of Lee Street in Old Town goes NUTS for Halloween. Pumpkins, ghosts, and skeletons are child's play. They've got coffins, gravestones, fog machines, music, eyeballs, spider webs, the whole works. It's awesome. Especially in the dark. JVL and I have walked it at night every year, and it is wall to wall -- kids trick-or-treating, parents/homeowners drinking. It's so much fun. Hip-cool for the grown-ups and just the right amount of sensory overload for the kids.
Well, since Cody can't really make it past 7 pm, we decided to walk it before dinner. It had a different feel, to say the least. The only other people out were...parents with infants. Most of them crying, because it was close to dinner/bedtime.
Cody was calm, but kept giving us reproachful looks as if to say, "Hey. What's with the paws? I can't get to my thumb. Are you two done indulging yourselves yet?"
Um, no.
Happy Halloween!
