Calling All Firefighters!

It started drizzling exactly 20 minutes before trick-or-treat kicked off. And it was cold. Could there be a costume better suited for these conditions than one with a plastic helmet and fire chief rain boots? I think not. We dragged Tommy to three of our neighbors' houses before dumping him back at our front door with grandma.

Patrick's coat was embellished with his very own lettering to match his Daddy's jacket. He didn't want to take it off. The kid could have walked 3 miles with the knowledge that nearly every house would give him candy. He wouldn't even let Tom or I carry his bag. I think he thought we would take the fruits of his labor.

It was a great parenting moment, sharing in his excitement. I wish we had more family shots, but for my mom, taking pictures is like performing brain surgery when you haven't been to medical school. She took our heads off in the first version.

Happy Halloween!
