Something Wicked This Way Comes

FLASH!!! Ahhhhh-ahh! Savior of the Universe!

"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes." My dentist bill, is what - thanks to all the candy I consumed today. We almost ran out - we had more kids tonight here in Greensboro than in our 4 years in Baldwin combined. And while we did not do the neighborhood Trick-or-Treat thing (henceforth referred to as ToT) with Lochlain for a variety of reasons, we did leave work early to participate in the boys' daycare's TRUNK OR TREAT (henceforth referred to as TOT). The TOT event consisted of setting up the trunk of your car with decorations and acting as a mobile treat-dispensing unit. The daycare kids then come out to the lot and parade around, hitting each unit and getting candy - or in our case, cookie packets (a lot of Loch's ToT bag was recycled into our dwindling supply that was given out earlier this evening). It looked something like this and of course, this:

Of course, Seanie slept through the whole thing. But this is what he looked like as a teddy bear:
And speaking of Seanie - I haven't highlighted anything about him in a while, mostly because he doesn't do much. That has all changed in the last few days - Seanie is now taking cereal 1x a day, is sitting up in his special seat that Uncle Richie and Aunt Cass got him, and is 'standing' up and playing very nicely in his exersaucer. Mommy swears he is almost an exact duplicate (phenotypically, anyway) of Lochlain at that age, except smarter and happier. I posted some pics in Flickr of these startling developments.

LOCH'S WORDS OF THE WEEK: "Help, Daddy" - mostly heard when he wants help spearing food items with his fork during meals, "Kissy" - when he wants to give you kisses (which is happening more often lately), "Teevee", and most of the Wiggles' and their associated characters (e.g. "Feasuresword" and "Dorothy") names.
