Sometimes you don't look as cool as you feel

Oliver and I both felt pretty cool when we were wearing the helmet from his Halloween costume... we were a little disappointed when we saw the pictures.

Bats are nocturnal

Oliver spent the night, which was great fun.  He slept in one of the beanbag chairs and I slept on the couch while Tim very sensibly slept upstairs in a bed.  At about 3:00 in the morning, Oliver woke me up quite gently and whispered, "Bats are nocturnal and owls are nocturnal and I want to be nocturnal, too."

I am sympathetic to nocturnal tendencies, so I got up and made pancakes.  Tim came down when he smelled the pancakes and we all watched "How to Train Your Dragon."
