Halloween madness continued today as Mom and I finished costumes. The dining room was turned into sewing land and the floor was covered in pink and black fluff.
The kids also wore all orange and black to school. Halloween socks and shirts that Babu had bought for them.
I was feeling pretty well all day. I wrote and then had a long morning tea with friend Nathalie who dropped by with extraordinary cookie dough (which we later baked up). I was even up to picking up the boys by myself. Cole brought home a friend - his first real play date. He was very excited to be the one sitting in the back seat with a friend and goofing off. I could see that a play date was long overdue.
George played the big brother and scared the two with his vampire fangs. He scared Adeline too who lay in the hallway half crying (she'd been woken up too early from her nap).
As I finished up dinner and Cole's friend went home, I wondered where Cole had gone. "You should see your son," said Babu as she walked inside. He was in the sprinkler all by himself, laughing and running and dancing, in half of his Halloween costume of course. "How did he get the sprinkler on?" I asked Tom. "He must have turned it on himself." Great. Cole - Mister Water - knows how to turn on the sprinkler. (Tom informed me later that Cole had actually asked him, very politely, if he could please turn on "the springler", and Tom, distracted, had said he could.) We rushed him up for a pre-dinner bath. At least he hadn't been taking down my damp laundry from the line as I suspected.
