A Halloween to remember -- what funny traditions.

Saturday was our Halloween celebration day. Central Park was holding activities and later at the church building we had a party.

In the morning we bundled up and caught the train downtown to Central Park where they were promising pumpkin patches, face painting, puppet shows and music. There were so many people there that we both merely walked and gawked for an hour, following the crowds and frequently stopping to watch. It was a curious thing for him to see Elmo riding on his daddy's shoulders, or a pint sized Darth Vader, Thomas the Tank Engine, robots, tigers, ladybugs... Des eventally needed a diaper change so we found a nice leaf covered hill and did it quickly. Then I tried to get some pictures of him running through the leaves and climbing the rocks -- couldn't get him to stand still for very long.

Later that night I put DJ's costume on and smudged his face a bit and sprayed some greasy hair shine stuff in his hair to give him a greasemonkey look. What a cute racecardriverguy he made!! If I hadn't cut his hair so short the week before it would have been ultra perfect.

At the church, there where games and hotdogs in the cultural hall and a trick-or-treating parade in the surrounding classrooms in the hallway. I hadn't reviewed with him the procedure so he was caught off guard a little bit. CANDY?!? ALL THIS FOR ME?!?!

One of his friends, Porter Brien was Batman, which was a huge hit. Another, Roscoe Vandegraff, was WinniethePooh -- a character he's taken a recent interest in. He'd actually given two big hugs and a kiss to his poohbear at home before leaving for the party, telling him, "be right back, go party"
