We’d have to say that this Halloween’s been the most exciting for David and the Banks Family. We’d already been to the Cleveland Metroparks Boo at the Zoo last week (see photos below, plus video of David getting picked for the magic show). So David was  roarin’ and ready for Sunday’s trick-or-treating. After a half hour around the block to collect candy, and an hour distributing candy at the front door, David dove into his treats voraciously. Fortunately, we didn’t have to worry about staying up late on chocolate. Listen carefully in the video for his enthusiastic chomping.

Mmm, this candy is goooood.

Magic show at “Boo at the Zoo” that David wanted to see three times in a row! Finally, he was picked as a volunteer. (Movie in two parts, due to battery.)

Finally: Since David wanted to watch the magician no less than three times in a row, let’s give the entertainer a plug. Find out more about him via his website, RW Magic, and via his Facebook page.

This month included a visit to Patterson Farm, pumpkin carving/fun in the leaves with Unka Jon, making Halloween cookies, and celebrating both Unka Jon’s and Aunt Susie’s birthdays.

David caught the flu the night before Halloween Trick-or-Treat night this year, so we saved dress-up for neighbor Karen’s annual Halloween party. We went as the Zombie Family a.k.a. the Unregistered Voter Family. Scary, huh?

Halloween 2007

This year, with all the “rawrs” that David’s been gleefully exclaiming for the past few months, Sheryl and I thought a lion costume would be a favorite for Halloween. Complete with a tail and mane, the outfit carefully picked out by his parents was emphatically refused by David, despite dress rehearsals by Mommy and Daddy the weeks before Trick or Treat night. (See momma wearing the mane in the Halloween 2007 Photo Gallery.)

Instead, with a quick face paint with stripes and simply keeping his favorite “I Love My Mummy” “noo shuht” (new shirt) on from that day, David headed out with contemporaries Anna “Witchy Poo” and “Little Red” Isabelle (and meeting up with Sophia “Dressed Like an Angel”) to take in his first aware Halloween. (Along the way, fellow parents smirked at an alternate costume that was mentioned: “Dr. No No.” He really didn’t want to wear the lion!)

A little overwhelmed, but still excited, he was comforted by familiar neighborhood faces and his parents’ outstretched hands while watching all the ghouls, goblins and superheroes collect treats from house to house.

We suspect, however, that he may ask to wear his costume in the weeks ahead. “RAWR!”
