A Halloween Theme?

Yesterday was the Halloween parade at preschool.  Lots of cute kids in costume - and some teachers too!  Here comes the Director, Ms. Kathy, leading the way with (appropriately) SuperGirl.  And look who's coming down the hall behind them!

Immediately upon seeing me, Liam starts to cry.  And it quickly turns into sobs, which brings memories of last year screaming back to me, literally.

Halloween 2010.

So I handed the camera to Tim and did what I did last year at the daycare - I marched in the Halloween parade with my crying kid..

At least someone was happy to see us!!

Here's the 2-year-old class picture with all of them in their costumes.  God bless Ms. Pam (red bandana) and Ms. Stephanie (black bandana) for trying to calm Liam down.

Here's Micah's class with his bacon (Ms. June) and egg (Ms. Michele) teachers.  I think it's the first time I've ever seen bacon upstage a train.  But then again, bacon does make everything better.

We also went trick-or-treating to a few neighborhood houses that night, as well as driving to a few friends' houses to show off our trains.

Off they go, with Daddy in tow.

Finally, a little video to close out Halloween 2011.  It's video of Liam trying to catch up to Micah and Daddy.  What's not on the video is Liam assuring me that he would "be back later, otay?"  Then I remembered to turn the camera on, and if you listen closely, you can hear him saying, "Wait me, brother, Daddy!"  (For those that don't know, Liam refuses to call Micah by his name, only ever calling him "brother".  We have no idea why, but it's pretty endearing.)
