Halloween 2007

A big time was had by all.

Allan is passed out on the sofa in the royal position. Dad took Griff upstairs about a half hour ago and I can't hear either one. I suspect that they are both asleep. The house is absolutely, blissfully silent. Not something that happens a lot around here.

The boys were devils for Halloween and were cute, cute, cute as you can plainly see. I took over a hundred photos. Don't really plan on posting them all. A lot of them, certainly, but not all.

We thought about Thing One and Thing Two, but decided that there was no way that the boys would tolerate the wigs (even if they were darling.) The little devil caps were bad enough. Mom loved the tails on the costumes. I think that everything that they wear ought to have tails.

We had enough trick-or-treaters to make things interesting, but not enough to bankrupt us or be really annoying. Griff thought the whole thing was marvelous -- he ran to the door every time someone showed up and squealed. Then he tried to leave with everyone who came. Allan, for his part, remained largely unimpressed with the parade of fools. He was just glad that Griff was distracted so that he could play with the Leap Frog drum (play the drum, every one, play the drum! Thanks, Aunt Lee.)

Aunt Michele stopped by and brought a Giggle Cookie Monster/Elmo and new Sesame Street floating, squirting tub toys. Then Aunt Cheryl came by and brought Halloween plates and new clothes and Christmas presents. (Just to be sure they aren't late.)

Time to post a few photos....
