Last night, Jude and I celebrated our second Halloween with John Patrick. Jude's folks were in town and kind enough to stay at our house to hand out candy, while we trick-or-treated with our neighborhood friends, the Elliotts. The trick-or-treating was hit or miss, really, as we went early and not a lot of houses in our neighborhood were participating. Also, John Patrick was a little on the shy side and since he doesn't eat candy yet, it wasn't a huge deal for him. Next year, I think, he'll really start to get into the Halloween spirit.
John Patrick was dressed as a dog (very cute) in a costume Jude made for him. He was wearing brown overalls with white spots and a tail sewn on. He wore a collar, as well, although Jude refused to let me attach a leash to it.
The temperature dropped pretty quickly after it got dark, so we returned home about an hour after we left. I had made a pot of white chili and a pot of red chili earlier in the afternoon, so we ate dinner with Jude's folks and watched the Vols spank Steve Spurrier's South Carolina Gamecocks. After dinner, we all got into Jude's Honda Pilot and drove to Belmont Boulevard. There, we trick-or-treated at a house or two, then finished up with coffee at Bongo Java. A nice end to a nice Halloween.
