It was delicious. Isak and I spent the afternoon carving our pumpkin (I tried my best to follow his design then added a few touches of my own) and getting ready for the trick-or-treat fest. We did a Morticia and Gomez dance around the living room and made up silly ghost ditties.
All the weather reports insisted we were in for foul weather, but it was beautiful – clear, with a fat moon and a sprinkling of stars. It was a wonderful surprise, I was picturing a very wet frog making it about a block and a half before wanting to turn back, but there wasn’t a drop to be seen and it was very mild.
Isak really wanted to wear his froggy costume again, and it still fits, so off we went into the night. We went all around the area, zigzagging up and down the hill, meeting friendly neighbors, looking down at the city lights garnished with bursts of random fireworks, stocking his rapidly growing bag of treats, admiring the other costumes, singing Halloween songs…
We got home after a couple of hours and had a late dinner before sorting (and sampling) treats by pumpkin light and playing with some spooky lego daddy bought in case we got rained out.
We all had a great, great, night, although I don’t know if we’re ever going to get him to put the frog costume away. He even had me “interview” him in character, which I’ll have to post sometime – it was hilarious.
I hope everyone else had a great night too!
