Happy Michael Day!
As you may know, November 1st is an official family holiday around here, commemorating the day Mike's adoption was finalized. We'll be doing some celebratory things, despite not quite having recovered from our wild Halloween night out.
Mike decided he wanted to be a longhorn bull, in honor of our trip to Texas this summer:
We had a great time making the rounds. Stopped by Civis Auctions, since they also raise longhorns. Burger King was giving away free meals to costumed kids, and that was a packed, hilarious scene. The best event of the night was at Sandhaven Care Center, where the folks went all out on a fabulously decorated. blacklight enhanced Treat Street. But when we arrived, they weren't open yet, so we decided to walk around the block for some traditional Trick or Treating. This was pretty fun, although Mike fell off the porch of a friend's house, which was the low light of the evening. Then we went to the commerical Trick or Treat Street, which was fairly nice too. Except then I got a big old leg cramp, the second lowest light of the night out.
Since Mike had plenty of candy at this point, we finished things up by driving around to see a few special people, like Mike's Mama Tina, his first grade teacher and his current principal. All in all, despite the few minor painful glitches, it was the best Halloween so far!
