T-47 days to Halloween and already the anticipation is running high in our house. Last week we got out the halloween dish towels<\/a>, and Gus has watched Nightmare Before Christmas a few times since last month. Right now he’s watching the Halloweenies episode of The Adventures of Pete and Pete<\/a>. Surely The Great Pumpkin can’t be far behind.<\/p>\n

He’s also been obsessed with pirates lately. This year for Halloween he wants to dress as “a skeleton with a cutlass.” We’ll just reuse the skeleton costume he wore last year, but he wanted a real (plastic) sword (rather than the cardboard ones he + Jonathan create). So off we went to our mall-type place this morning.<\/p>\n

I was hoping for something smallish and made of hollow plastic, but the sword we ended up with is nearly as tall as Gus and quite solid. Of course he can’t stop swinging it all over the place. I suggested that he whack the bed with it so hopefully nothing in our house will be accidentally broken anytime soon. The label said cutlass but Jonathan says it’s really a scimitar. And because nerd + nerd = little nerd, Gus spent much of this afternoon lecturing me on the differences between the two kinds of swords.<\/p>\n

Let me take this moment to point out that the little hoarder hasn’t even finished his candy from Easter nor the most recent few birthday parties he’s attended (even with significant post-bedtime parental snacking!). All the same he’s cleaned out his traditional Halloween candy bag in preparation for the big event. Bring it on — we are ready!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
