Halloween Report

After his successful bovine debut on Saturday at Rock 'n Romp, Walt was eager to get back into character on Tuesday for Halloween.  First, Walt and I headed over to First Baptist to join his classmates for trick or treating around the church offices.  (Despite it not being a normal school day for Walt, Ms. Krista invited him to come anyway.  I think she was also looking for some toddler wrangling help from me!)

This is Ms. Ophelia's best attempt at getting all the kids to sit still for a picture for me:

Have you ever heard the term "herding cats"?  Definitely applied here.



Later that evening, the whole family headed to the Cooper-Young little kids' Halloween party . . .

. . .  and then back home to give out candy to the trick-or-treaters.  But Walt wasn't content just to wait for them to come to him.  Oh no, he held the candy out as an enticement.   And who can resist a tiny cow offering tiny boxes of Nerds?  No one, I tell you.

Of course, there was also a little candy eating going on.

It was Halloween, after all.

  3. I can't resist the little cow even without a candy offering!
    Please give him a big kiss for us.

  4. With cute cows like this, it is even worse we don't have Halloween in Holland.

  5. Hmmm. I particularly like Josh's candy eating face. Sort of smug, as if to say "Hey, I'm a grown up. I can do this all night long!!!!!!!" Waltie still has the timid "really, this is okay?" face. For now.
