Taking a Break from "The Daily Planet"

Harrison took time out of his busy newspaper-job schedule in downtown Metropolis (masquerading as Clark Kent masquerading as Superman) to come out on Halloween and show off his trick or treating skills. All those handing out candy were powerless against him!! Luckily no one was handing out kryptonite, that would have made for an early evening. He did not meet his Lois Lane yesterday, but there were some princesses, a Minnie Mouse, ballerinas, and yes - even one little girl at his school was dressed as Charo. Coochie coochie!

We went to his school during lunchtime to parade through the village and trick or treat at the stores, and then all the parents were able to sit and have lunch with the kids in their classroom. It was a lot of fun to spend time with him there, since we usually are just there to drop off and pick up.

Then around 5:30, we went up to our neighborhood party for some pizza and mingling. We met a lot of our neighbors which was really nice, and Harrison had a great time watching and playing with all the kids! We only got about a dozen trick or treaters later on at the house, but we felt like it was a very full, fun and eventful Halloween!

Here's our Superman eating some cheese as a snack, getting ready for the party. Even Superman needs his dairy!



Harrison's friend Henry was a chicken!



Chloe (aka Minnie Mouse) had the cutest yellow shoes on, and was very curious about Harrison's costume.

Heading up to the party!!





He had a blast watching the big boys play. Most of them were dressed in Star Wars themed costumes, and of course I got most of the characters wrong, calling one kid Obi Wan instead of Annakin. He probably thought I was a big dork.



His friend Lexi was being sweet trying to hand him her bucket, but he's looking at me like, am I allowed to take this???
