Alex was a giraffe this year for Halloween. His school has a costume parade around the neighborhood so Bill and I both went to hold Alex's hands. It was pretty entertaining and much like herding cats. Alex is in the "Walkers Room" which was at the back of the parade line. Alex did a good job following Piglet who was in front of him in line...until he saw a tree, or a parked car, or a piece of grass or the curb. He was wondering all over the place! He got lots of treats but most went to our trick or treaters later that night. Not real sure why they give candy to preschoolers. Oh well, he enjoyed the mini pack of goldfish that he received.
Later that afternoon, I took Alex up to Bill's office. Another co-worker has two kids so they arranged for us to all be up there at the same time. Alex was pretty busy, pushing chairs, running around in Bill's office and playing on Bill's computer.

Later that night, Bill, Tyler, Alex and I attended our neighborhood Halloween party. The party is right in front of our house, so there's no reason for us not to go. For some reason we didn't get any pictures of the boys. Tyler was one of four mobsters and Alex the only roaming giraffe. Bill and I had more trouble keeping up with Alex than with Tyler. Think of approximately 50 families with 2 kids each running screaming everywhere...now you get the picture. Even though it was Halloween, Alex still had his tubby and bedtime by 6:45 pm. Tyler is now 11 so he was able to trick or treat with other kids...without adult supervision. Which I have to give him credit because he didn't go far and was back about 10 minutes after dark. All in all, it was a busy Halloween but a good one!
