Cindy came and went Trick-or-Treating with him and she was a Gypsy. Mom made the skirt for her. One of our neighbors thought Cindy was me and tried to talk to her and Cindy had to say she was my sister. That's kind of flattering (I guess). After Trick-or-Treating we went back to Mom's and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows with her and the neighbors who have one of those portable fire pits. It was pouring rain, so the neighbor on the end of the apartments had his big outside umbrella over the fire and we pulled out Kristin's broken decrepit umbrella that she gave Mom when she moved and we sat under them and celebrated Halloween. Eric had to sit and hold Kristin's umbrella up every time a gust of wind would come by. Needless to say the umbrella bit the dust and is headed for the dump, because Eric duct taped it to get it to stay open and then he couldn't get it closed without breaking the spokes. It was the strangest Halloween I have ever had.
We love our shade in our backyard, but it comes with a price. Leaves! Lots of Leaves!! We spent Saturday morning after Halloween raking leaves. As Eric and I would rake them Jimmy would leap into them and he also buried himself in them. It made him sopping wet, because the leaves were wet from the rain the night before. He was having lots of fun though.
This is Jimmy's Leaf Raking attire. Eric let him dress himself that morning.
For one of Jimmy's homework assignments he had to read to a Stuffed Animal. Well Jimmy being Jimmy he had to read to all of his Stuffed Animals.

It certainly was a Halloween to remember. Should we make having Halloweens to remember annual traditions? A big thank you to my neighbors for creating such fun. Kaye didn't get the pictures off my camera to show our wacked out evening under the umbrellas!

Very, Very, Very Good reading Jimmy, and of course all animals must have a good story, I even think I saw Elmo blink his eyes while Jimmy was reading.
It is great to do wacky things most all of the time! I am sorry my umberella, ella, ella, croaked. Liberty is so great to have a not broken umberella, although I saw him at Smiths earlier in the day buying a pumpkin and other stuff.

Sound like you had a fun but windy and wet Halloween. I had to work but the kids went out with Brian. Leaves are so much fun except to rake them. Jimmy is so cute reading to all of his animal's. Its make me think about my kid when they enjoyed doing their homework instead of fighting me about it or just no bringing it home. Yikes! Kids!
love

We have a big stuffed animal audience around here, too! Love it! Sounds like a great, unconventional Halloween.
