Halloween Reflections

We went to the big American Halloween party and partook in the trick-or-treating. I didn't think that Gusi would know about scary things but he freaked out when he saw some of the masks and costumes. We had to work real hard to make him understand that these were all children dressed up. I hope he understood!?! In any event I feel terrible that he was scared.

He did enjoy getting the glow sticks that the Boy Scouts were selling as well as walking around the pool which was lit up at night.

Perhaps next year we'll skip this party so he isn't completely traumatized.

MrMan was kind of scared by the kids who came to our door. Not that they were necessarily dressed in scary fashion, but I think it was the weirdness of the evening. He kept talking about being scared, and acting scared. So we kept trying to emphasize how we were pretend scared and could follow up the "oooh, scary" with a laugh. I still won't be surprised if we have some bad dreams to deal with.
