trick or treating, 2013

We do this at my parents.  In our own neighborhood are people who have come here from all over the world.

Not everyone participates in Halloween. In fact, hardly any do.

So we could walk blocks to find participating households.  Over at my parents, everyone participates, so we go there.

Kirsten and Heidi came too, and also Dan and Alicia and their guys.  p.j. was SOOO excited b.g. was going to be there, she almost exploded in her monkey costume.

Her and her damned monkey.

The first time I said this to her about her precious Curious George, she said, "He not damned monkey. He nice."

I defer.

How could anyone not?

 The little guys were scared of Tim's mask.  Finally, he ran on ahead and the babies were much more at ease.

And then we went back to my parents and ate pizza and had a bit of a feast--handmade fudge and frosted sugar cookies too.  The family party is Saturday, so this was just a prelude to the fun to follow.

Okay, this is funny though, and Alicia and I were both a witness.  p.j. and b.g.'s little brother got into a fight over -- get this, a slice of fake cheese in the doll dishes.   Finally, in outrage, p.j. slapped all the fake food into kingdom come, plastic french fries flying and also the cheese, and wow.

Well, then the little guy did get a hold of the cheese, and then they both threw themselves down on the floor and cried.

???

Over a slice of fake cheese?  (It was okay. Feathers were smoothed.)

Oh my.  I couldn't make this stuff up.

Onward.  Tomorrow is Friday and it's bound to be wonderful.

Thanks, Mom and Dad for hosting this rowdy crew tonight.  It was great.

Here are a few more guys who will be at the party Saturday. You people look fantastic.

See you guys  there!  It's going to be GREAT.  love you all so, Grandma
