All Hallow's Eve

Basil being carried in a box by a tall man, a cheese grater (sign says "Make America Grate Again"), Batman, and
Wenda from the Where's Waldo? books

This really isn't about Donald Trump. It's about one
cheese grater just trying to make the world a better place. Eat good food;
grate your own cheese. 

The days of innocence are over. Last year he was blissfully ignorant of why we were walking around to
various houses. This year he was like an old pro. Not sure how these little minds pick these things up. Sigh . . . I really dislike the whole greedy candy thing (especially at Halloween) and do my best to help my kids find a healthy balanced way
to live (and eat) in our culture. Hopefully we are doing okay so far.  

We thought Basil's friend had gone to sleep for the night but apparently not, he picked Doug up and tried
to carry him off. Fortunately, I was there to save him.

I'm guessing the boys' days of dressing up may be wrapping up one of these years. And I'm fine with that. It sure was fun to see them really soak it in this year. I love that they are going out with a bang (and maybe not going out, that's cool too). They found ideas themselves. We worked together on gathering the supplies needed. They fiddled with everything to see how it would work. Doug helped them pull it all together. 

And what a success it was too. It felt like a walking "America's Funniest Home Videos" episode. I sort of wish we had filmed it. It was so funny to watch people's faces as the boys walked past. It was a hilariously entertaining evening. At one point a car full of high school girls drove past yelling out the window "I love it!!  A cheese grater!"  The girls pulled over and one girl hopped out to get her picture taken with Sage. He was quite amazed to have his picture taken with a random high school girl. His 20 minutes of fame! So funny.
