A Halloween to remember

I'm catching up and am finally doing a post about Halloween 2008.

This Halloween will be one to remember...
1. Salem was a lion. We had talked about him being other things throughout the year, like a pirate, darth vader, or batman, but when he saw this lion costume that I had, he really wanted to be a lion.
2. This was my first school Halloween parade to attend, the first of many I'm sure. It was interesting to see all the costumes that the kids wore, and it was weird that I was the adult watching the kids. I always felt silly walking in the Halloween parades at school, so I felt for those awkward kids.
3. Oaklen was an aligator/crocodile/dinosaur (I couldn't quite tell what it really was.) He only wore his costume halfway through the time we spent being at Salem's parade then he took it off. He refused to wear it the rest of the day.
4. Oaklen got sick! (No it wasn't from too much candy.) We went to visit my friend Candace and he puked on her carpet! He had no symptoms of anything, and afterward was as jolly as a lark, so I'm not really sure what happened to him. I spent some time cleaning up the mess, and I doubt Candace was able to eat the soup I brought due to the likeness of the stuff I was cleaning up. Sorry Ace!
5. We visited Darrell's employer. They always go all out for Halloween and the kids get to go down aisles of decorated cubicles.
6. Darrell was an old man for his costume. His team did different demographic segments and he was "gray power" older people who live in quiet comfort.
6. We came home and watched a movie since we all were pretty tired. Afterward, we went outside for a little trick or treating. The boys enjoyed the blow-up Tigger across the street and I snagged a picture of Oaklen next to it.
