Oh, we had big plans for Halloween this year.  We had a huge bowl of candy.  Thomas had a cute monkey costume.  We were all set to attend a costume parade in our neighborhood, visit a few friends, then come home to put him to bed.  Well, Thomas had other plans.  

He was really tired, but cried and cried when I put him down for a nap.  So I picked him up and tried again later.  He didn’t fall asleep until 6, and then he slept for an hour and a half.  He would have kept sleeping, but I didn’t want him down for the night that early.  While he slept, we went outside to hand out candy.  I noticed trick-or-treaters walking by our house, but  no one was coming to our door.  We had the lights on and a pumpkin, so I don’t know why.  We took some chairs out, and chatted with our next door neighbors.  It was mostly teenagers, which was odd as it was so early.  

I woke him up at 7:30, fed him, and took him out in his costume to see the neighbors.  Then we walked over to see our friends around 8:30.  He fell asleep at their house, and was in bed by 9:00.  That was his big Halloween!  I know next year will be more fun- he’ll be walking!!
