Happy Hallowe'en

Here is Munchie getting ready to go out for Hallowe'en.  He couldn't figure out why he needed to be clean to get dressed up scare-ey, but he loves to have a bath, so he didn't question Mumma, but happily got undressed and waited patiently for Daddad to come and help him into the tub with his tub critters so he could be all squeakey clean and ready to hit the road with the rest of the goblins and ghoulies that he could see out the window.    Mumma kept telling him about candy and goodies if he said "Trick or Treat" - it sounded interesting, so he was anxious to go and see what it was all about.  It took a while to get all cleaned up, but Mumma and Daddad assured him that it would be well worth the effort.

Once he got an appropriate costume on, he hopped onto his newest mode of transportation.  He thought about walking, but decided he could cover more territory on his trike - and Daddad offered to push if he got tired, so it seemed like an excellent idea.  It was so good of Gramma to get him a trike for his birthday!  It has a horn and an alarm and makes wonderful loud noises - Mumma and Daddad just love it!  I wonder why Gramma sent it home with them....surely it would have been fun for Munchie to push all the noise buttons at her house.  Poppa and I went down on Thursday (just past), and we thought about taking Munchie for a little excursion on the trike..... so we strapped him on and pushed him around his place a couple of rounds and decided that the noises were too loud for our liking (even though Munchie absolutely loved them!)...so we popped him in his stroller and used that for our little trip to the Mall.  He sure did love the trike though!

Here he is with Mumma, out wandering the streets looking quite spooky and rather skeleton-esque.  It appears that the bright, shiny, pumpkin-coloured bag is getting full - notice how happy Mumma looks - I think she has been looking for an excuse to go out on Hallowe'en ever since she decided she was too mature to engage in such childish activities.  I'm willing to bet that Daddad enjoyed the excursion equally as much - since he loves to play with Munchie's toys - I'm guessing he would enjoy the Hallowe'en adventures too!    Little Tristan joined Munchie to go tricking folks into handing out goodies - you can see him with his Daddy at the right side of the picture.  He looks like he is enjoying the outing too...hopefully he will get some nice soft candies that he can chew on - even though he hasn't any teeth yet!

After about an hour of touring the neighbourhood, Munchie took Mumma and Daddad back home, so he could check out his goodie bag and see what he got.  He found some little chocolate bars and decided this was the night to taste chocolate.  By all reports he quite enjoyed it, and put it on his list of good things to eat - right next to broccoli and sweet potatoes - which are also on his yummy list.  I understand that a good time was had by all and Munchie is looking forward to Hallowe'en next year!

I have no pictures of my knitting project right now.  It has been commencing quite slowly, I seem to have a shortage of time - as usual!  I believe the plan for this week includes going to get Munchie and bring him home with me and Poppa for a short visit.  Mumma and Daddad will come and get him on the weekend.  I hope he has a good time with us!  More soon.
