Halloween!

Halloween! Every kids favorite night and Dominic was no exception. This year, Dominic went as Thomas the Tank Engine (again) and Jocelyn was Raggedy Anne. DominicsMom did not want him to go as Thomas again (even though I knew that would be his first choice), so we took him to a local Halloween shop where we showed him a bunch of different costumes, to include Buzz Lightyear and Bob the Builder. Dominic was leaning towards Buzz when I pointed out a Thomas costume. Of course, he went nuts and wanted to be Thomas again. Since we already had it, I saved $20 and was very satisfied with myself.

Dominic has a local playmate in our housing area and we agreed to with her parents to go Trick-or-Treating together. We dressed Dominic and Joss up and went to see Leonie first, she was very happy to see them. Dominic got a kick out of seeing her again too. Dominic's playmate arrived, we took some pictures, and then we all set off.

Dominic did better this year, walking most of the time and he was actually tall enough that he did not trip over the front of the costume, at least not too much. He was excited and knew the ropes when we went up to each door. He would knock (and then we would as he would do so too softly) and then mumble something when the door was opened. He definitely knew to grab a piece of candy when the bowl was offered, and then to go back for more if they let him. He came away that evening with a nice big sackful of candy.
Joss & Dominic posing for pictures. He has already scored a lollipop from somewhere.

That lollipop makes for a sweet smile!Cutie!
More pictures to come later when I get Blogger to work!
