Hey, It's Scooby!

Sorry folks, but I just have to put a whole bunch of Scooby shots on here for the grandparents. : )

This year we continued our little tradition of Trick or Treating with Nadia and Bibi in Libertyville. What a blast we all had. Especially Elijah...he partied for four hours straight! It was sweet to watch Elijah slowly grasp the concept of Trick or Treating. The first house he walked up to, he just stood there. When the woman put a treat in his bucket, he was stunned. Towards the end, he was picking out his own treats, dumping them in his bucket, and marching on to the next house (as you probably noticed above.)

Let me tell you, Scooby Doo has got to be the most beloved cartoon character, by adults and kids alike. Kids stopped to give Scooby a hug...adults stopped to take pictures...we'd hear "Hi Scooby!" from all directions. By the end of the night, Elijah must've thought he really was Scooby.

He wore his costume all evening with no problem, even when opening the door for Trick or Treaters. Answering the doorbell was actually his and Nadia's favorite part. I can't tell you how many times the two of them ran up and down the hallway screaming with delight to answer the door. I have video of it on my new camera, so I've got to figure out how to upload it on here.

These last shots are from my weekend road trip, just me and Elijah, to Rochester, MN to visit Uncle Nisar (Rob was away in Michigan.) It was one long slumber party. We didn't have a crib for Elijah and he wouldn't sleep unless I did, so the three of us were all up late watching G movies together. Fun! In between, we hit the kid zone at the Mall of America. ~Nasreen
