All Hallow's Eve and other silly stuff

So HT's favorite holiday has come and gone. Halloween. The Celts called it Samhain. As Mrs HT said so snappily posted it is also a birthday. So the Mrs and I selected a costume for the wee man this year. We chose a lion. He is a big fan of lions. he likes to roar when ever he hears the word.

Simple right?

Hardly. The costume comes in the mail we wash it to avoid the problem we had last Halloween with an allergic reaction. We put on the bottom half, and he is roaring like a champ. We try and put the mane portion of the costume on and well, we got vetoed in no uncertain terms.

SO. We took a couple of pictures as fast as we could and here are the results.

As you can see not the happiest of trick or treaters
So we didnt make him wear it for more that these pictures.
Evening approached and we had done some pre-planning in coordination with KM to make sure that when he got treats that wouldn't make him sick

So next door he went and experienced Halloween for the first time

Getting phat lewt
Running around

sitting and enjoying the evening and watching the older kids come to the house

On All Saints day we cleaned up the yard and had a leaf pile. Leaf piles one of the best things about this time of the year.

Someone got chucked in to it. :)


We also had a party to go to. Mrs. HT's friend KT number 1 was celebrating a birthday off cycle for a variety of reasons. But it was a costume party and a good time was had by all.

Unfortunately someone forgot their camera. Luckily there was a professional. To see more from this party click here.

More later.. Soccer Playoffs and the recapture of youth...

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Mr. HT is 34 years old today. Doesn't look a day over 40 - ha ha. Little man helped daddy open his presents and cards last night since we knew there would be chaos tonight. Aunt JM is coming up to see little man in his lion costume. First trick or treating - we are very excited. He doesn't quite know what is going on, but he did pick out his own pumpkin! :) Pictures posted later!

CH4 and other sundry items

For people other than my sister that is Methane. And the team has been stuck by a plethora of it much to my chargrin.

It is chilly and wet in the Metro area its been raining most of the day. If I was in ireland I would say it was a soft day for the most part. Fall is here to stay. I doubt we will get any more summer like weather for more than a day.

The wee man is having a pretty good day. 3 Hour nap. this allow the errands to be run. Public Library= awesome. We have saved significant $ on not buying new books every couple of weeks.

We got to talk to the STFU/GBTW clan yesterday for about an hour... Ah the magic of the internet and Skype

SO much for that vaunted SEC defense.
Go Mountaineers....

Can the please election happen right now... Please... So tired of all the crap from both "sides" of the election. Frustrates me that MSM doesnt even allow a 3rd view point. Because honestly there is not much difference on a lot of things. Barring 2 or 3 things [Guns, Sex, Which special interest that owns them] that differ here is the new boss same as the old boss.

Seriously considering getting in politics because of the stark lack of real choice.

Have either of the main candidates spoken about immigration, Secure VOTING MACHINES!!, spying on US citizens, the erosion of civil liberties?? nope. No granted the economic SNAFU is important but not that important.
