Shy Cowboy

Last year, Myles slept through all but the first 5 minutes of trick-or-treating. This year, we went in our neighborhood, up and down Montford Avenue, which is known for its large houses, many of which are now bed and breakfast establishments. For Halloween they were done up in spiderwebs, we saw a flying bat and even a birdbath full of bloody eyeballs...what fun! Myles was a very shy cowboy, so Seth carried him most of the way. He did enjoy his first sucker (well, two) and was very interested in all the kids out and about. In Asheville, we had some pretty wild adult costumes out there too. We discovered that families from all over the Asheville area drive in to trick or treat in Montford, so it was nice to just get in the stroller and not have to drive anywhere. When we first put on his eyeliner mustache, we showed him what it looked like in the mirror and he cried for five minutes, I guess he didn't like how it looked. But make no mistake, he was the most charming cowboy I've ever laid eyes on.

By the way, Seth and I voted early last week. We are hoping to volunteer for the Obama campaign on Tuesday. I hope all of you, no matter your political persuasion or home state, get out and vote on Tuesday if you haven't already. What a privilege it is...and in this election there hasn't been a dull moment yet. Vote!
