Thomas had a costume parade at school on Friday, and on Saturday he and I met Erik after work to trick-or-treat a little bit in Brookline. I think it was a bit too busy and overwhelming for Thomas, but he held up pretty well. The pumpkin pictures are from the previous weekend. Sorry about the family pictures-I’m having trouble turning them.
