Halloween

Sawyer was a lion. A lion with a cold. For about 20 seconds.








After growling at family for a week over the phone in anticipation of being a lion, Sawyer kind of flaked out. I can't blame him since he's had this cold for over a month and the doctor said he's getting ear infections. He's on some medicine now which will hopefully knock it out for good. He's still my sweetie.

We took him to the embassy to trick or treat, which he did without his costume on. Mommy and Daddy still scored plenty of candy. The embassy workers decorated most of the second floor of cubicles and offices so it was kind of like a haunted house. One very tactful man in a bloody mask with a roaring chain saw jumped out of his office and got right in Sawyer's face. Sawyer didn't cry, I think he was in shock that someone would be so insensitive. After that he didn't seem to enjoy himself. There was food and crafts in the cafeteria and that perked him up a bit.




Because of traffic, neither Pat nor I made it home to trick or treat in the apartment building...or maybe I should say "Trick and Treat" which was what it said on the flyers passed out. I was pretty disappointed because this was the first Halloween for our Dutch friends Bart, Eva, and daughter Olivia. They'd never done this before and were supposed to come trick or treat with Sawyer. They still made it over to our place along with other friends Ben and Sam with their daughter Jordan. We ordered some Mexican food and a giant margarita. That's a perk here in Bangkok, they deliver margaritas.

Here are some friends and their costumes. I think Wilma and Bam Bam win first prize from me.
