Again with the random blogging PR perks, I got a tip that the Stone Zoo was hosting some early Halloween festivities this weekend! Among other things, there were trick-or-treat tables set up along the zoo path, so the kids got to practice the “trick or treat” “thank you” and “Happy Halloween” sequence that we’ve been talking up. Oh, and we got to preview this year’s costumes. They were a big hit.
Daniel is actually wearing the same pirate costume from last year. It was really big on him back then, but he can still fit into it now. Rebecca was thrilled with her new butterfly outfit.
For any area folks that missed it (I assume it will be a washout with tomorrow’s nasty forecast), the Franklin Park Zoo is doing a similar program next week.

And, lest I forget, we do have a winner for next weekend’s Halloween Town tickets. Random.org had the honors of choosing:
It’s Rebecca, hooray! Of course, I saw her this afternoon and forgot to bring the tickets… but it’s not like we don’t see each other five times a week, anyways. I’ll try to remember to bring them to COPE on Tuesday!
Great idea- we are members of the zoo so we’ll have to go next year when my kids can actually walk and talk.
The kids look great. We’ll be brining Ned and Penny to the MOT halloween party next weekend and hope to see you there.

Super cute!!
Geez Louise, Goddess—they look so WAY cute (and happy)! Makes me think we should all get in costume once in a while and eat candy til we pop! (Oh wait a minute, I do that latter aspect pretty often…
)
Thanks so much for the peek into your weekend!

Hi! I just ran into your blog from HDYDI! Wanted to say I love your post! I’m also a “let them put themselves to sleep” kind of person. My girls are the best sleepers!! They still go to bed at 630pm, and don’t get up til 7am the next day. I also know someone who has a 9 month old who “won’t go to bed until 1030pm” and she says this laughing about it. I would pull all of my hair out.

They are so cute in their costumes, Liz! I love seeing all the mommies post pics of their kids in costumes at Halloween time. It’s my favorite time of year in the blogosphere.
Good idea to practice saying “trick or treat” and “Happy Halloween.” We’ll start doing that, too!
