Halloween Party

Some friends of ours, Jason and Kim, have an annual pumpkin carving party. We attended last year's party, but weren't able to stay long since it was the same night as Connor's "Treat Street" at school. We thought we'd be running into the same problem this year, but "Treat Street" was canceled at the last minute so there was no conflict. Days before the party, I asked Daddy if we (or at least Connor) were supposed to dress up in Halloween costumes for the party. His response was no, he didn't think so. Of course when we arrived for the party, the majority of the kids were in costumes. Oh well. We were able to hang out for quite a while before we had to leave so Daddy could go to work. Connor was much more interested in playing in the backyard than he was in carving his pumpkin. We were able to reign him in for a bit so he could eat, but it wasn't long before he was running around outside again. One of the highlights of any party hosted by Jason and Kim is the cake. Kim's friend from work does an incredible job decorating cakes. As impressed as Connor was with the cake, he could barely stand the wait before we were able to cut into it. The other highlight of the party for Connor was the pair of vampire teeth he got as a party favor. I don't remember the last time he looked at himself in the mirror so much. It was even more exciting when he realized the teeth glow in the dark.
