Halloween 2008

What a day! Cavett dressed in his costume to go to school. This year he decided he was an "army man-soldier." He had a wonderful day while Kendrick and I played. After eating lunch I could tell that Kendrick was about to poop. I decided to seize the opportunity and took him to the bathroom. He actually pooped in the toilet. It was by chance and I don't expect this to happen again for another year. But, if I catch him trying again, why not? We went back to Cavett's school a bit early so that Kendrick could play on the playground there. He wasn't terribly interested in the slides and such, but all the different cars really captured his attention.

That evening we trick-or-treated up and down our street and the one behind us. Then we helped host a street party two doors down from us.

As Cavett was eating his hot dog at the party, he asked Dad for his drink and Dad replied, "after you finish your hot dog." Cavett said, "Ok Dad, you can go now. I'm eating with my friend." Wow. That hit Stephen in the heart. Cavett continued to play with the kids, most much bigger than him until about 10:30. He had a fabulous time and didn't want to go home.

I agree, great fun with great friends.
