boo-tastic

Choo choo! Thanks to my friends the Peas, I was a train engineer!
The bandana was all my mom though, go mom!

Halloween has come and gone; but, I thought it worth mentioning that the Pup participated in Halloween festivities this year. While Papa Seal and I are of the school that you avoid all Halloween events in all forms and functions, this view does not work when children are involved. So participate we did.

On Halloween Eve, Anders' school had a parade which involved parents pushing their kids in strollers or walking them around part of the CGA grounds (Papa Seal missed out on this crazy action, as he was in Virginia doing engineer-y things that would probably interest some people, but I won't get into here). There were all sorts of candies handed out to the toddlers and pre-schoolers--the most exiting being a 10 inch roll of Shock Tarts. Shock Tarts. For toddlers. Think about it. Anders can't wait for the day we will let him consume that much sugar.

Kelly was home in time to do some trick-or-treating on Halloween night. We went to four houses belonging to co-workers. Don't let it be said that we have no Halloween spirit.

Having never had candy before, the Pup still doesn't realize that you eat the goodies in the boxes and inside the wrapping. He thought the Halloween treats were toys, shakers to be precise. We have not educated him on the matter. That's right, candy is toys! (or, if you rather, go here. I know).

Hope your Halloweens were ghoulishly fantastic and fun!

Looks like Andreson also had fun. You know, it's amazing how quickly they catch onto the idea of begging for food.
