Bats all folks!!

Brendan dressed up as a bat for Halloween. Don't worry, he was a fruit bat, not a vampire bat. No one was hurt. Well, except for that box of raisins. RIP, raisins.


After hanging at the old folks home, Allie brought Brendan and Cole (who was a monkey) to Mauston so we could start out trick or treating at my office. The women surrounded them like flies to garbage. There was a lot of ohhing and ahhing. As always, neither of them cared. We went outside to take a few pictures. After that, Allie and Cole went off to meet some friends for the evening. Brendan and I finished making our appearances at a couple other offices. Not the smartest idea to do office trick or treating at nap time. I'll remember that next year.


We headed to the Dells to pick up Jeremy. One of his employee's called in sick so he was stuck at work until 11. He was able to leave to for a bit to join us. Trick or treating is not like it used to be. What fun is it going in the daylight? You knew which houses you could go to by the light on front step. There were no lights. There were no kids either. I don't know where everyone was. We couldn't follow the mobs to know which house was a go and which one was not. We went to a handful of houses and gave up. Brendan could care less about the actual act itself anyway. He was in 7th heaven just being able to walk down the sidewalk with the stick he picked up along the way. He did stray a few times when he bolted thru the lawns after squirrels. He doesn't understand that every animal isn't meant for petting.


After we gave up on the streets of Wisconsin Dells we zipped thru the drive-thru of McDonald's because not only was the child screwed out of a nap, he was hungry. A Happy Meal it is.


When he was done pretending to eat, we went to the outlet mall because they had trick or treating. Again, he could care less about the actual act. This time he was happy being able to stroll thru the mall with the rock he stole from one of the beds. Ah, to be so easily amused. That adventure didn't last too long either. Sadly, he has less than 10 pieces of candy. That's not really a bad thing. He most likely couldn't eat it anyway, which means we would have to.


So, here are some pictures from today. I hope you aren't expecting smiles from Brendan because we know that's not going to happen.

I did take a couple short videos too that I'll upload some other time.

Happy Halloween!

This was him at one of the few houses we actually went to.
