We started our day with Aretha Frankenstein pancakes for breakfast (you know you can buy the mix at Bi-Lo). They are incredible. Cheng-Yu didn't like them too much, but probably because we denied him the syryp!!! Unfortunately, Cheng-Yu was running a fever today. We cuddled up and watched It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown...that may have to be a Halloween tradition. Of course the most exciting tradition is...trick or treating!!! Our first stop was Poppa Don & GiGi's house. They had a special goody bag for Cheng-Yu. He loves visiting their house. Next stop, Aunt Melanie & Uncle Will's house. The crowd that comes to their neighborhood is unbelievable. There were over 300 trick or treaters! Cheng-Yu got to trick or treat with lots of cousins (not 300...just 7). We had planned to pull him in a wagon with Tori Bug...but that didn't last long. He was determined to walk...the whole time. I will always remember how he giggled and laughed walking along on the sidewalk because he thought all the other kids were chasing him. He really was in his own little world. He was quite the trooper-fever and all! We celebrated Poppa and Uncle Phil's birthdays tonight as well. It was a great family gathering.
