Last day of Halloween

The Princess needed a quick power nap before trick-or-treating.

Gabe, nearing a sugar coma, shows off his treats.

In addition to the parties, Gabe and Audrey made the rounds to my office and to a couple of friends' offices and houses. First was the trip to my office right after his school party. Gabe, who I always describe to people as reserved and cautious, charged into my boss's office with his sword blazing and semi backed him into the other room. Way to go, Gabe - go all "pirate" on a man who is (1) an attorney and (2) my boss. Maybe next year, we need to dress up like something that is a little less aggressive, such as a rabid raccoon. Next, Gabe and Audrey both got little Halloween baskets (loaded, of course) from Grammy. The great thing about having a baby at Halloween who gets treats but cannot yet eat them..do I have to say it?

After a couple more stops, we finally got to go trick-or-treating. Gabe actually told our sweet old neighbor after she piled several candy bars into his bag, "don't forget about the orange one [a Butterfinger]". He also helped himself to extra treats when people weren't paying attention to their baskets. Not shy about candy, this one. That's my boy!
