Friday night we trick or treated in the rain. Ari's turtle shell kept falling off of his little shoulders. He wanted to incorporate plastic fangs that this kid at daycare gave him. He is obsessed with them. He keeps coming up to me and asking in a garbled voice ,"can you guess what is in my mouth". Uhh let's see, could it be the fangs you've been drooling on all weekend? He took them to school this morning. I meant to hide them when he was asleep. [mental note: must hide fangs] I love the fact that kids aren't afraid to be weird. Ari used to have this dinosaur hat that made him look like he had a dinosaur head. His grandmother gave it to him thinking it would be cute for him to play in. His father tried to convince him not to wear it to daycare but he insisted. All of the kids stopped eating when he came in at breakfast. He sat down nonchalantly and ate his cereal...taking no notice of their stares.

After trick or treating I let Ari put halloween make up on me. that turned out to be a big mistake. it was gross and greasy paint and made my eyebrows feel weird. After he went to bed we watched a stupid horror movie and then Sammy Terry . S. thinks Sammy Terry is silly and you may agree by just looking at his picture…but to a kid he is scary. Or at least he was to me when I was a kid. He used to host horror movies every friday on channel four, dressed up as a ghoul in a red cape. I was terrified of him when I was younger but loved watching him. He introduced me to Vincent Price movies. Anyway, it was pointed out on Friday that Sammy Terry wears yellow dish gloves. I never noticed that before. It sort of takes away from his scary image. Ok, maybe he is a little silly.

I started nanowrimo this morning. I only have one paragraph done.
