Halloween

It was rainy and icky tonight but it wasn't too cold and at least there was no snow, so it could have been worse.  We met up with friends and went trick-or-treating in the set of residential streets around the corner. 

Holidays are very good at reminding me how much Nicholas is growing up because things that sneak up on you gradually throughout the year become much more obvious when contrasted with a whole year before.  This year Nicholas didn't even need us to go up to houses with him--he was not only capable of doing it himself, but brave enough to do so.

Next mission: gradually sneak candy out of his bowl so that it disappears much more quickly.  He has also already offered to share with us, so we may have to take him up on it.

And here is video of Nicholas singing the theme song from Dinosaur Train (which he has watched religiously since we started this costume): https://picasaweb.google.com/103033220833760597415/2013October?authuser=0&feat=embedwebsite#5941090726451563010
