Our Dinosaur

Friends of mine have a daughter whose birthday is October 30th and for a few years now they have celebrated her birthday on Halloween with an evening party that ends in trick-or-treating. What a fun birthday! Cedric was very excited about the birthday party + trick-or-treating. He was ready to put his costume on and go as soon as he woke up from his nap.

By the way, he ended up being a dinosaur because in his words "Dinosaurs have bery loud teeth and go 'ROAR'!"

He had a great time at the party even though most of the children were older. They played a game where the kids popped balloons that were filled with pencils, tattoos, etc with a tack and Cedric was both fascinated and freaked out. My gentle giant still does not like load noises.

He did really well trick-or-treating too. I think next year we will work on a joke to tell. Its tradition here that after you say "trick-or-treat" you proceed to tell a joke before getting candy. A good joke should be handsomely rewarded. Its a St Louis thing and even though when we first moved here I thought it was odd, its really grown on me. Now I think its pretty cute.
