HAPPY HALLOWE'EN!!
Ethan dressed up as a baby tiger... for all of five minutes while mom and dad helped me take pictures of him. Ethan was much happier out of the costume than in, but he was a good sport through it all. Afterwards, he was rewarded with some play time in his floor gym.
Tonight, we went out for dinner at Red Lobster - Endless Shrimp was still on the menu and so you know dad and I just had to partake. We just kept the plates coming, neither of us backing down, both holding our own, until, agreed by us both, we concluded with a final plate of fried shrimp, and the feasting came to an end.
I must say, had dad gone on to another plate, I probably would have weakened. Phew! The man can eat! (but I offered him pretty stiff competition too). :-p
And to finer palates. The ladies (mom and Kelly) wanted none of the all-you-can-eat nonsense. Instead, mom decided on Grilled Salmon and Jumbo-Shrimp-On-Skewer in a sweet and spicy pineapple glaze, and Kelly went for the no-fail Fish-n-Chips (aka Flounder with a bit of broccoli and tartar sauce) - oh how my many British friends would cry. But Kelly has this ability of making anything she eats, seem better than yours, and quite honestly, my popcorn shrimp seemed less and less appealing compared to Dr. K's Flounder over there.
Back at home, we managed to get a couple brave little trick-or-treaters. We didn't really plan Hallowe'en all that well this year, and so we really missed all the young children in the neighborhood in their costumes asking for candy. Now, we are left with about 5 pounds of candy, which will likely remain untouched until next year.
Transporter 2 (the movie) from Netflix arrived. Perhaps dad and I will wind down the night watching this movie, while Kelly (actually already fast asleep) and mom will prepare for a quiet evening with some much needed sleep.
