Halloween 2010: a slightly fictionized narrative.
So for Halloween this year, we were thinking Zev could go as the Tom Robbins novel Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas...
...but that would require him looking half asleep, which he was unwilling to do.
("I've got my rep to consider, Dad. No way!")
Then he proposed a counteroffer of COOKIE. But we pointed out his costume idea was a little impractical....
...and all too likely to result in games of peekaboo.
He pointed out that our novel idea was subject to the same flaw.
He then suggested going as Aquarius, the Water Bearer:
(Milk-wearius, the Sippy Cup Bearer?)
Fortunately, we had planned (slightly) ahead and procured a monkey costume the day before.
At a Živio party last night, he really got into the act.
Cheeky monkey!

Hidden Hollow #2
One neat thing about being in Hidden Hollow when we were is that leaves were falling all around us every time a breeze picked up.
What do you do with a fallen leaf?
YOU PUT IT UNDER YOUR CHIN.
And then you do it again.
Now you see it...
Now you don't!
Look, Dad, no hands!
So dashing! Just you watch, next year everyone'll be wearing them!

Hidden Hollow #1
Last Friday, Zev and I went to check out Hidden Hollow, a small nature trail, reclaimed from the middle of one of the oldest parts of the Sugarhouse neighborhood.
Dig those trees!
Seriously, man! Those trees are AWESOME!
That creek's pretty cool too.
Okay, Dad, hand over the phone. You're totally not sharing.

OMG SNOW.
This last weekend, it snowed in the mountains and foothills. The valley floor, though, only got rain.
Tuesday morning, though, the snow came to the valley!
(I've gotta get better at sizing these things!)
