Halloween costumes

Seems like my writing skills have gone downhill at an alarming pace. Blog entries have become either wordless or only picture captions. I blame it on the sleep deprivation.

Trying to catch up with the pictures. I found a costume for Hugo at Me 'n Mom's in Ballard, a consignment store for baby stuff. The only thing they had in Hugo's size was a dalmatian costume so that's what I got, only to discover later that Teo was a dalmatian for her first Halloween, too. (And with a birthday just 10 days before him, they were both about the same size for their first Halloweens.)

Teo's mom made her a volcano costume complete with red hot lava running down her head. We met up with Teo, kids from her school, and the nannies and their kids at the park where they have non-scary "friends of the forest"-- parents and teachers dressed up and handing out candy at various places around the park. Hugo decided he'd had enough excitement around 5pm and proceeded to have a meltdown, so we went home to hand out candy to all 5 groups of kids that came by the house.
