we dress nicholas up in his lobster costume then hit the streets. our neighborhood is crawling with trick-or-treaters. we ran out of candy twice in one night. we have lived here for six years and only have had a trickle of kids at our door. we were never in danger of running out of sweets before. we live in an older part of the city with a sizable yuppie, bohemian and gay population. not a lot of small children live in our neighborhood. this year many homes were also decorated for the occasion. kids were everywhere.

the night was exhilarating. i'll post pics of nicholas as soon as i upload them. he had a wonderful time, and didn't mind being a lobster in the least. maybe it is because he is 10-months old, and doesn't know the difference. whatever. he looked great. it was a happy halloween.
