Jack loves Halloween!

The purple stuff on his face is from where he was drawing on his face at school today, completely unrelated to his Max costume, but he refused to wash it off before we put his costume on....

Jack had a total blast trick or treating this year. He still wasn't interested in eating the candy, but he got into going up to the door, and cautiously holding up his pumpkin bucket, sometimes he remembered to say "trick or treat" and he was pretty good about saying "thank you" too.
He elbowed his way in when the bigger kids were blocking the way. And when we met up with his great friend Lucas from school, Jack showed Lucas how it was done.
And just an added bonus, Jack finally agreed to wear his Max costume from Where The Wild Things Are, created by none other than the amazing artist Gail Dawson!

Wisconsin October 2011





We weren't planning to go back to Wisconsin this year, but my nephew Jake announced he was getting married, and since I adore him, we decide to partially represent Team Simon Arms Simon.
We stayed with my dear friends Delia and Mark, and their sons Enzo and Nico. Enzo is about 5 months younger than Jack and the two fell hard for each other, eventually fighting like brothers.
