Halloween Clairvoyance
Halloween was great. Mom did a great job in preparation and the night went very well.
Clairvoyance, Part I
Luca was a Power Ranger and Mateos was a "Night Slasher." Luca has been wearing his outfit for a number of weeks playing around the house. Mateos had not yet worn his since it was more elaborate. Yesterday, Mateos tried on his outfit for the first time and Luca developed pea-green envy. Had to have the same thing as big brother. With confident aplomb, Mom just poppped out a second Night Slasher outfit out of hiding; sure enough, she had predicted Luca's behavior ealier and had went and picked up a second Night Slasher outfit. Not sure if I am a big fan of the behavioral lesson for Luca, but three cheers for Luciana knowing her boys.
To see how cute they looked as Night Slashers:
Clairvoyance, Part II
Luciana and I went to a halloween party hosted by a colleague here at work. Before the party, she speculated who would be there and when we came to one of the guys, she paused and said "I bet he comes as either Zorro or Austin Powers." Well, apparently years of reading Entertainment Weekly, people watching at the mall and making pointless conjectures synthesized in one moment to generate this brilliant analysis. While this individual was not at the holiday party, while trick-or-treating we happened past his house and he answered the door... dressed as Zorro. Luciana could barely stifle her amusement and her self-satisfaction. I probably should be worried that she is thinking about this guy so much that she can guess what he is going to wear...
Parting thoughts -- is it me or is "sexy" overtaking "scary" on Halloween? Girls of every age look more like they are on a cat walk (or worse) parading around during the evening. Not sure at what age it is appropriate or not but it sure is an acceleration of a trend that I can't say I am personally entirely comfortable with.
