Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-10-31

2009-10-31 23:18 (Kristen) Jamie went off to Nisshu Gakkuin today, but Liam stayed home with me instead of going to the market with John. He didn't sleep well last night, so it was thought best if he stayed home. This he did, and played DS, and watched a little more Totoro, but more Anpanman. While he did, I decorated the front porch so that it would be spoooooky when Jamie got back from school. John came in with the dire news that someone had stolen all the crap off our front porch. Hah. Jamie did, however, pronounce the house acceptably spooky. The rest of the afternoon was spent carving pumpkins and otherwise getting ready to go out. Liam's fever hadn't come back all day, so we let him get into his dragon costume, a perfect match for Jamie's knight costume, and the boys went out trick or treating with John while I stayed behind and handed out candy. They stayed out much longer than I expected, and Liam only came home, I suspect, because he was cold. Daniel was wearing his full armour, and so he and Jamie went out for a bit together, and they made a great pair. Eventually all costumed individuals and their parents were at home, eating candy. The boys don't eat chocolate, so they very generously gave me all their chocolate bars. They managed to not get many, as John told me Jamie said to each house "I'm allergic to chocolate," and was able to get alternative candies at most places. That's good, because I don't need that much chocolate, myself. The boys went to bed late, excited but happy.
