Luke's Diary: Our First Halloween

Hi Mommy's Blog Readers!

Today Mommy said I could tell you about our Halloween. I thought Halloween was a one-day affair, but I must have been misinformed.

First, there was the visit to the pumpkin patch, after a nice leisurely lunch downtown with Mommy and Daddy at the Rockslide Brewery, sitting outside on their patio on a nice fall day:

Then, there was Costume Try-on Day, to make sure everything fit and that we liked it. Our Grandma Charlotte made these costumes from scratch, can you believe it?!? She didn't have a pattern or anything, she made them up out of her head. As you can see, I was a sock monkey pirate (arrrrr!) and Sissy was a peacock:

Then, last Saturday, we put on our costumes, loaded up in the stroller and went downtown for the Halloween parade! Super fun! (That big buffalo statue in front of Mommy and Daddy's bank...that's called "Chrome on the Range," by the way...)

And then--finally--Halloween! Grandma augmented the mouth on my sock monkey costume so it was even cooler:

After pictures, Mommy and Daddy walked us around to the neighbors we know, so everyone could see how cute we were.

I also heard something about Halloween and candy, but Mommy said we're too young for candy. She said maybe next year.

It was the best Halloween ever!

Love,

Luke
