Jen and I both come from families where Halloween was celebrated enthusiastically. This year we brought our A (or at least B+) game and decorated our porch. Graham wore a slightly too short dinosaur costume (what? How were we supposed to know we'd be growing a giant.). Our neighbors down the street had a barbeque and everyone stayed up past their bedtime.
You know, sometimes I worry about raising a city kid, but the mix of neighbors (old timers, yuppies, gay, straight, dogs, kids, black, white, and everything else) gamely eating hot dogs and drinking cider was something I was really excited to be a part of. As Jen said, "It's like we live on Sesame Street."
Note: Filipa wins the award for being both our most attentive reader and the biggest Sox fan. She pointed out to me that our pumpkin, wearing a Red Sox hat, bore the number 25, which is both our house number and Mike Lowell's number. That's awesome.

Love the costume, love the decorations, love that your vest matches his costume. Looks like a very successful evening
Graham looks like the cutest dinosaur ever. We understand about short costumes; hopefully, at this rate, by next year, he might be not only pulling his own weight in the candy collection, but hopefully, pulling you too in the Flexible Flyer as well. Could make a good lion-pulled- chariot? lots of love,
