The Halloween parade started right on time this year, which meant since we were running late we only caught the tail end of it. But we hung out in the park with lots of neighborhood kids and then went home for trick-or-treating. We were only going to stop by a few houses so our neighbors could see him in costume, but Matteo figured out the routine by the second house and got pretty into it - walk up to door, look cute, take candy and put it in pumpkin, wave bye bye, NEXT! - so we ended up being out for quite a while. He carried that pumpkin the whole time, even at the end of the night when it was heavy with candy.

This house was pretty decked out, it even had a fog machine. Matteo was a little overwhelmed. He sat down on the front walk and wouldn't get any closer. The homeowner, who was dressed as a cat, had to come out and bring his treats to him.


In a funny coincidence, our next door neighbor was a lion too!
