Lili was home so got this picture of us heading out to trick or treat in Chemainus.
What a great little event. Happy kids, so fun seeing all the costumes. Music in the courtyard overlooking the water and games set up for the kids.
Kai didn't hate it this time! He said the words and remembered his thank yous.
Kai had to open his bag and look in to see what he got so was often tripping out the door and then loudly and excitedly telling me what each thing was.
The best treat was old time comics from the comic store.
Keeping it real. Lest ya'll start thinking life is perfect in Nelsonville. We went for lunch at Haida Way for curry. Where our perfect day went south. Kai didn't order curry. The food arrived. A curry got put in front of him and he started to dig in. I got it away before his fork struck. Then he cried. Sigh. His fries and coleslaw were delivered last so he cried for a while. His coleslaw was in a bowl placed on a plate. He couldn't get his fork in the bowl and wanted to eat on the plate so he dumped the bowl out onto the plate. Which was fine but then the pesky bowl was in his space and he didn't want it so he threw it towards Luk. Luckily it just made scary noises clanking into glasses but didn't break. Then in an effort to reduce calories I scrapped off some sauce and pushed fries to the side. planning to eat less. Luk was picking like a mouse and had lots left but Jia had devoured and was almost done so I offered her my extra. And then Luk lost his composure. The jealousy of that was too much. He couldn't get the anger and crying under control. People were looking. I eventually told him he had to leave. So he went out with the car keys but didn't know how to unlock the car. So I sent Jia out, she grabbed her garlic bread and ran. I rushed Kai to finish and paid the bill and left. Then Luk got louder and louder ALL the way home. Oy. He claims he's tired. So his bed time got moved back again. Bedtimes have been a major issue for him lately. I had been thinking after such a perfect day that we would stop in to see Joanie and play with puppies but we just scooted on by and got ourselves home. But...perfect day up until lunch.
